The Land Rover Discovery Sport features
intelligent stop-start technology
designed to improve fuel efficiency and
reduce emissions by automatically
stopping and restarting the engine when
the vehicle is stationary without
impacting your vehicle's reliability or
lifespan. This video will show you how
the intelligent stop-start system works.
When the vehicle decelerates to a stop
from a speed above two and a half miles
per hour (or four kilometers per hour)
the intelligent stop-start system will
stop the engine, also known as auto stop-start.
The engine will remain stopped
while the vehicle's stationary and your
foot is on the brake pedal. A warning
lamp will illuminate in the instrument
panel to inform you the engine has
entered an intelligent stop.
The system will restart the engine automatically
once you take your foot off the brake pedal.
If, while stationary, you move the
rotary selector to neutral,
the intelligent stop-start system will
remain stopped; it will restart the
engine when either drive or sport mode
is selected and/or you take your foot
off of the brake pedal.
The intelligent stop-start system is
continually monitoring a number of other
vehicle systems. If any of the following
occur, the system will inhibit the engine
from entering an intelligent stop or
will automatically restart if already stopped,
if the accelerator pedal is pressed,
if reverse gear is selected using the
rotary selector, if the climate control
system determines that additional
cooling or heating is required to
maintain cabin temperature, the engine
has not reached its full operating
temperature, the driver's seat belt is
not fastened, the vehicle speed exceeds
half a mile per hour (or one kilometer
per hour), the external temperature is
less than approximately 32 degrees
Fahrenheit or more than 104 degrees Fahrenheit, if a gear is selected using the shift paddles when enabled.
To prevent you from exiting the vehicle
and unintentionally leaving it switched
on during an auto stop, when the driver's
seat belt and the brake pedal are
released, the vehicle will ensure park is
engaged and switch the ignition completely off.
If the driver's seat belt is released in
park, the vehicle will also switch the
ignition completely off. This allows you
to safely exit the vehicle without the
engine restarting. The intelligent
stop-start system can be switched off by
pressing the auto stop-start button on
the center console. A warning lamp will
illuminate in the instrument panel to inform 
you that the system has been switched off.
