Disable Conditions
On Ford/Lincoln/Mercury vehicles equipped with the auto stop/start feature, there may or may not be an auto stop/start off button. For vehicles without the button, any or some of the following conditions may prevent the engine from automatically stopping while parked:
- Transmission is in P position
- Engine compartment hood is open
- Driver's seat belt is unlatched
- Driver's door is open
- Windshield defroster is on
- A/C is set to Manual and is running at Max.
NOTE:
On some vehicles, the shutdown feature can be temporarily switched off any time the ignition is on (for the current ignition cycle only). Use the information display to do so. Use: Settings > Vehicle > Auto Engine Off.
