If you approach a Two-mode Hybrid vehicle operating
in Auto Stop Mode, it may appear the vehicle is turned
OFF, or the engine has stalled. Auto Stop Mode
occurs under many conditions, including when the
vehicle is in Park, Neutral or Drive and may last for
several minutes. While in Auto Stop Mode the engine
may restart without warning. Any of the following
conditions will cause the engine to restart if the vehicle
is in Auto Stop Mode:
• The hood is opened
• The shift lever is moved to Manual or Reverse
• The 300V Battery charge becomes too low
• Engine temperature drops too low
