How to Permanently Disable the Auto Start-Stop Function on a Buick?

[Christian]

The auto start-stop function button on the Buick Envision is located below its quartz clock, featuring an 'A' key encircled by a rotating arrow, which serves as the start-stop function switch. Above this button is the radar button. If you dislike this function, you can manually turn it off. Here is some relevant information: 1. Notes: The start-stop function is enabled by default every time the vehicle starts. Under normal conditions such as proper water temperature, battery voltage, closed doors, closed hood, and turned-off air conditioning, the engine will shut off when the brake is pressed after driving a certain distance and the vehicle speed reaches zero. Releasing the brake will restart the engine. 2. Start-Stop Function: There are many misconceptions about the auto start-stop feature, such as concerns that frequent starts may cause piston wear, generating metal debris that could damage other engine components, leading to significant engine damage over time. However, engine wear primarily occurs during cold starts, whereas the auto start-stop operates mainly during hot starts when the engine temperature is high, and the engine oil has properly coated various components, resulting in minimal wear under these conditions.
