How to Turn Off Auto Start-Stop on the Buick Verano?
2 Answers
To turn off the auto start-stop feature on the Buick Verano, locate the button marked with the letters 'A' and 'OFF' next to the parking sensor switch, and press it to deactivate. Please note that this function cannot be permanently disabled; the start-stop system will automatically reactivate with each ignition cycle, requiring manual deactivation after every vehicle start. The Buick Verano is a mid-size sports sedan under SAIC-GM Buick. It measures 4718mm in length, 1802mm in width, and 1466mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Power options include a 1.5L engine producing 118 horsepower and a 1.5T engine delivering 169 horsepower. The 1.5L engine is paired with either a 6-speed automatic or manual transmission, while the 1.5T engine comes with a 7-speed DCG dual-clutch transmission.
I just bought a Buick Verano, and the auto start-stop feature has been giving me a headache. Every time I stop at a red light, the engine shuts off, and the body shakes uncomfortably when it restarts. So, I tried turning it off: the operation is quite simple—just find a button near the dashboard or center console with an 'A' and a circular arrow, labeled 'Auto Start-Stop,' and press it lightly. When the indicator light turns on, it means the feature is deactivated. However, it defaults to 'on' every time you start the car, so you need to remember to press it right after getting in. This feature is actually designed to save fuel and be eco-friendly, but since I live in the city with frequent traffic jams, driving has become much quieter after turning it off. If the button's location is unclear, check the illustrations in the owner's manual—they clearly show where it is. My friend also complained about the noise during start-stop, so I recommend keeping it off for city driving.
