INTELLIGENT STOP/START
The Intelligent stop/start system is designed to
improve fuel efficiency and is automatically
activated when the vehicle's ignition is switched
on. Unless it is required to support other vehicle
systems, the engine will switch off if the vehicle
is stopped, for example, at traffic lights. When
the brake pedal is released and a drive gear is
selected, the engine will restart automatically.
Note: Always disable the Intelligent stop/start
system before wading.
During operation of the Intelligent stop/start
system, a warning lamp will illuminate. See 47,
INTELLIGENT STOP/START (GREEN).
To activate an automatic engine stop, stop the
vehicle from a speed greater than 4 km/h (2.5
mph). Apply sufficient brake pressure to make
sure the vehicle is stationary.
To activate an automatic engine restart, release
the brake pedal with Drive (D) or Sport (S)
selected.
The engine will also restart if one of the
following occurs:
• Intelligent stop/start is deactivated.
• The accelerator pedal is pressed.
• An automatic transmission shift paddle is
used to select a gear.
• Reverse (R) gear is selected.
• The Climate control system demand
increases.
• The vehicle's speed exceeds approximately
1 km/h (0.5 mph).
• The vehicle's battery charge becomes low.
• Brake vacuum has been reduced, for
example, using the brake pedal repeatedly
with the engine off.
The following conditions will prevent an
automatic engine stop:
• An automatic transmission shift paddle has
been used to select a gear.
• The external temperature is less than
approximately 0°C.
• The external temperature is more than
approximately 40°C.
• The engine has not reached its operating
temperature.
• The driver's seat belt is not fastened.
• Demand from the Climate control system
requires the engine to be running, for
example, when in Defrost mode.
• The vehicle's battery charge is low.
• Intelligent stop/start is deactivated.
• The bonnet is opened.
Note: Even when activated, it is normal that the
Intelligent stop/start system will not always stop
the engine when the vehicle is stationary, and
may restart the engine prior to setting off.
