Engine Starting

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This vehicle does not use a 12 V starter motor to crank the internal combustion engine (ICE). A much more powerful 300 V motor/generator located within the transmission is utilized to crank the engine. The 300 V drive motor generator can rotate the engine to operating speed (800 RPM) within just a few hundred milliseconds. The 300 V drive motor generator allows near-instant starting of the engine. Once started, engine operation may cycle between Autostop (engine off) and Autostart (engine running) for the duration of the drive trip.
