When the battery ages, the system quietly stops auto-stopping long before the battery fails to crank. Keeping the original battery type (AGM or EFB) and a clean, tight ground connection avoids a lot of confusion about why the system behaves differently from week to week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen the engine will not auto-stop anyway\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory system will skip an auto stop for many reasons: battery charge below its threshold, cold coolant, high climate-control load, a steep grade, the hood or driver door open, or a 4WD or tow mode on vehicles that have them.

Common reasons: towing or hauling, where an engine restart under load is unwelcome; drive-thru lines and parking lots, where the engine cycles on and off every few feet; hot days, when the A\/C compressor stops with the engine on many vehicles; and stop-and-go traffic where the restart delay is noticeable when pulling into a gap.

A stop-start system that comes back on at each restart is rated with stop-start active. A system the driver can leave off would be tested both ways and averaged, which lowers the label figure.

If a stop-start system is non-latching, meaning it switches back on whenever the vehicle is restarted, the EPA measures fuel economy with the system working. If the driver can switch it off permanently, the EPA tests with it both on and off and averages the two, which gives a lower number. Manufacturers therefore make the system come back on at every start, and drivers who prefer it off end up pressing the button each trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGlossary\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Stop-Start (ESS):\u003c\/strong\u003e Jeep's name for the automatic engine stop-start feature on the Jeep Gladiator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAGM \/ EFB battery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Battery types designed for the frequent cycling of stop-start vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e One switch-off and restart of the vehicle.
