Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Starting System - with Auto-Start-Stop
The Auto-Start-Stop system helps reduce fuel consumption by automatically shutting off the vehicle's engine while the vehicle is at a complete stop and restarting the engine when the brake pedal is released. The Auto-Start-Stop system is automatically enabled whenever the ignition is turned on. The vehicle may restart automatically in order to maintain interior comfort or to recharge the battery.
