Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Start the engine normally and locate the Auto Stop button on the left side of the instrument panel.
- 02
Press the button once; verify its indicator turns off to confirm the system is disabled for this ignition cycle.
- 03
Drive normally and confirm the engine no longer enters Auto Stop at eligible complete stops.
- 04
After the next engine start, press the button again if you want the system disabled for that new cycle.
Important limits
- The system is enabled again every time the vehicle is started; the quick guide does not describe a permanent-off setting.
- Even when enabled, the engine may remain running or restart at a stop when operating conditions require it.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the engine still stops, verify the button indicator actually turned off after the press.
- ✓If no Auto Stop occurs while the feature is enabled, this may be normal because temperature, battery and other conditions determine eligibility.
