How to Permanently Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in the Avancier?
2 Answers
The method to permanently turn off the auto start-stop function in the Avancier is: Press the auto start-stop off button, which is located on the left side of the steering wheel, marked with a circle containing the letter A. The auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop, such as at a red light, and restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. The Avancier is an SUV model under GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4858mm in length, 1942mm in width, and 1670mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2820mm. The vehicle is equipped with an ANC active noise cancellation system and extensively uses sound-absorbing and sound-insulating materials. Through noise reduction designs for the engine, body, and even the wheels, it achieves a quiet performance comparable to luxury cars.
I've been driving the Crown (Avancier) for several years, and the auto start-stop feature is indeed a hassle. Every time I start the car, I have to immediately press the button to turn it off. If you want to disable it permanently, there are a few approaches to consider. Most 4S dealerships say the manufacturer doesn’t allow permanent deactivation—only manual operation—due to fuel efficiency regulations and safety concerns. Some people have tried using programming tools to modify the ECU settings, but that often triggers fault codes and could void the warranty. I personally wouldn’t dare mess with it, as repairs can be costly and stressful if something goes wrong. If it really bothers you, you could try consulting a professional tuning shop, but remember not to compromise safety just for convenience. Over time, you’ll get used to it—turning it off takes just a second or two, so it’s not worth taking big risks. Overall, keeping fuel efficiency and environmental benefits in mind is always a good thing.
