How to Reactivate the Toyota Vios Start-Stop Function?
2 Answers
This engine start-stop function is enabled by default during normal driving. When the vehicle stops, the start-stop system will be triggered to automatically turn off the engine, and it will restart when needed.
I've been driving a Toyota Vios for a while and have encountered situations where the start-stop system suddenly stops working a few times. Reactivating it is actually quite simple, mainly by finding a safe place to park and then operating. First, ensure the vehicle is completely turned off, then look for the start-stop button on the center console (usually marked with a circled A). If the button's light is on, it means the system is disabled; simply press it to turn off the light and reactivate the system. Wait a few seconds, and the system will start working. During this process, make sure the seatbelt is fastened and the doors are properly closed, otherwise, the sensors won't detect and the system may fail. Sometimes it's caused by insufficient battery power. If pressing the button doesn't work, you need to check if any fuses in the car's fuse box have blown. In daily driving, remember not to frequently turn off the start-stop system, as it can help save about 15% of fuel. Last time my battery was aging, the system stopped working, but it got much better after replacing the battery. Safety first; if it really doesn't work, it's recommended to go to a 4S shop and let the technician scan for fault codes with tools.
