Can the Auto Start-Stop Function on the Regal Be Turned Off?

[EmilioLee]

The auto start-stop function on the Regal can be turned off. The advantages and disadvantages of the engine auto start-stop feature are as follows: 1. Advantages: It can reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy. In urban traffic, when waiting for traffic lights or during traffic jams, it minimizes engine idling time. Additionally, when the engine is turned off, the power supply can replace the belt pulley to power the engine cooling fan and the car's air conditioning system. 2. Disadvantages: It requires more durable starters and batteries. Conventional starter designs allow for high working currents but are intended for short usage periods. Frequent use of the starter can easily lead to overheating and damage. Therefore, starters equipped with auto start-stop functionality must be significantly more durable than standard starters. Moreover, the increased number of battery charge and discharge cycles can also impact battery lifespan to some extent.
