How to Cancel Auto Start-Stop on the A3?
2 Answers
The method to cancel the auto start-stop on the A3 is: press the setting button on the center console. The auto start-stop is a system that automatically shuts off and restarts the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving. The A3 is a compact car under FAW-Volkswagen Audi. Taking the Audi A3 2020 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4312mm, width 1785mm, height 1426mm, with a wheelbase of 2629mm. The Audi A3 2020 model is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150PS and a maximum power of 110kW.
I've been driving an Audi A3, and the most annoying feature is the auto start-stop function. It defaults to on every time I start the car, and I really can't get used to the engine suddenly shutting off at red lights. Actually, turning it off is quite simple: right after starting the car, press the 'A' button with a circular arrow on the center console, located above the air conditioning panel. When the button lights up yellow, it means it's turned off. However, it's particularly inconvenient that you have to turn it off again after restarting the car. My routine when getting in the car is to do three things: fasten the seatbelt, turn off the start-stop, and adjust the mirrors. I've heard that long-term use of the start-stop function can shorten the battery life, so I always manually turn it off. Although it's a bit of a hassle, it's much more comfortable driving without the engine frequently restarting in traffic jams. I wish Audi could update it to remember the last setting.
