Safety Precautions When Working On Vehicles With Start/Stop System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING:

There is a risk of injury if the engine starts automatically on vehicles with a Start/Stop System.

For vehicles with an activated Start/Stop System (recognizable by a message in the instrument cluster), the engine may start automatically as needed.
For this reason make sure the Start/Stop System is deactivated when working on the vehicle (turn off ignition, if needed, turn the ignition back on).
