The auto start-stop function, also known as keyless start, refers to pressing the AC button to start or stop the vehicle when it is in a stationary state. Usage of the auto start-stop function: 1. After getting into the car, press the start button twice to power on, and the display will show a system self-check; after completion, press the brake; 2.

I've been driving for over twenty years, and the auto start-stop function is quite fuel-efficient. However, sometimes in city traffic jams, it repeatedly shuts off and restarts the engine, which can be annoying. The method to turn it off is simple: after starting the car, look for a button on the center console, usually labeled 'A Off' or with a circled 'A' icon, and press it. The dashboard will light up a small indicator to show it's disabled. After turning it off, the driving experience becomes smoother, avoiding the noise interference from short-distance starts. Just remember, it defaults to on every time you start the car, so you have to manually disable it—don’t be lazy. If you keep using the start-stop feature with an aging battery, it can easily drain the battery or even leave you stranded on the road. Mechanics always remind me of this, so I only enable it on highways or smooth roads. Learning these little tips can enhance your driving experience, making it safer and more worry-free.
