WARNING!
- Vehicles with the Stop/Start system will be
equipped with two batteries. Both the main
and the supplemental batteries must be
disconnected to completely de-energize the
12 Volt electrical system.
- Serious injury or death could result if you do
not disconnect both batteries. To learn how
to properly disconnect, see an authorized
dealer.
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every
driver ignition start. It will remain in STOP/START
NOT READY until you drive forward with a vehicle
speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). At that time,
the system will go into STOP/START READY and
if all other conditions are met, can go into an
STOP/START AUTO STOP ACTIVE mode.
To Activate The STOP/START AUTO STOP ACTIVE Mode, The Following Must Occur:
- The system must be in STOP/START READY
state. A STOP/START READY message will be
displayed in the instrument cluster.

system will stop the engine automatically during
a vehicle stop if the required conditions are
met...

many safety and comfort conditions to see if
they are fulfilled. Situations when the engine
will not stop include (but not limited to):

structural element that can provide some
protection in some accidents...
How long does it take to sound my horn and
flash the lights? Depending on various
conditions, it can take three minutes or
more for the request to get through to your
vehicle.
Which is faster, my key fob or the Uconnect

flash the lights quicker; however, its range
is limited...
