How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in a Vehicle?
1 Answers
Simply press the auto start-stop switch; when the light is on, it indicates that the auto start-stop function is turned off. Advantages of the Auto Start-Stop System: Fuel savings. Although the process from engine shutdown to restart is very brief, it can still help the owner save about 10% of fuel. This feature may seem insignificant during regular stops at traffic lights, but during holidays or rainy days when traffic is congested, owners will deeply appreciate it. During peak hours, when stuck on the road for half an hour, the auto start-stop function can help the owner save a considerable amount of fuel. Disadvantages of the Auto Start-Stop System: Increased vehicle costs. Cars equipped with the auto start-stop system are slightly more expensive than those without this technology. Additionally, due to the frequent starting and stopping of the engine, there is a higher demand for oil quality. In areas where traffic congestion is common, it increases carbon buildup and the maintenance costs of the battery and starter motor. The result is that the fuel saved is not enough to cover the cost of replacing the battery and repairing the starter motor. There is also a common issue where the engine shuts down when it shouldn't, and sometimes during stop-and-go traffic, the car may shake continuously.
