Engine Stall

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

If the engine stalls it will coast down in gear, with the transmission providing drive to the engine. A restart can be attempted at this point and the engine may start and the driver can continue.

If the coast down speed reduces such that the engine speed is less than 100 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM), the transmission will go to Neutral (N). Drive (D) illumination will flash in the Instrument Cluster (IC). The driver needs to select (N) or Park (P) and then press the brake pedal to restart the engine.

If the ignition switch is pressed when driving, the message 'ENGINE STOP BUTTON PRESSED' is displayed in the message center. There will be no change to the ignition state. If the driver requires to switch off the engine, the ignition switch must be pressed for a second time. The engine will be stopped and will be back driven by the transmission as the vehicle coasts down.
