How to Turn Off the Auto Start Feature on the X-Trail?
2 Answers
The method to turn off the auto start feature on the X-Trail is: press the auto button on the plastic panel in front of the driver's left leg. The X-Trail is a compact SUV under Dongfeng Nissan, with body dimensions of: length 4675mm, width 1820mm, height 1722mm, wheelbase 2706mm, and ground clearance 208mm. The X-Trail is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 111 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 194 Newton-meters, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. It uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
I often encounter the annoying issue with the X-Trail's auto start-stop feature while driving. Turning it off is simple: after starting the engine, there's a small button on the left side of the dashboard or the center console marked with an A OFF icon. Press it, and when the light turns on, the start-stop is disabled. You'll need to do this every time you drive because the system is enabled by default. Personally, I prefer to turn it off manually, especially in city traffic where the frequent engine restarts create noticeable vibrations that affect the driving experience. Here's a tip: if you have the air conditioning or heating on, the system might automatically pause the start-stop to avoid affecting the cabin temperature. Regularly checking your car battery's health can prevent system malfunctions, as the start-stop performance degrades with an aging battery. Also, remember to avoid frequent start-stops on steep slopes—safety first.
