The auto start-stop system button is located on the center console. To manually turn off or on the auto start-stop system, simply press the corresponding button when you want to disable it. When the system is turned off, the LED indicator in the button will light up. Please note that if you turn off the system during the shutdown phase, the engine will automatically restart. Here is more information about the auto start-stop system: 1. The engine auto start-stop function automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Its English name is STOPSTART, abbreviated as STT. 2. The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a set of controls for engine start and stop. 3. In automatic transmission models, as soon as you release the brake or turn the steering wheel, the engine will automatically ignite immediately, allowing you to step on the accelerator and start moving, all while remaining in D gear. 4. The working principle of the start-stop system is: when the vehicle stops moving in traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver steps on the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this point, the Start/Stop system automatically detects: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates there is enough energy for the next start. After these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops. When the traffic light turns green, the driver steps on the clutch, and the start-stop device can be activated immediately, quickly starting the engine.

The Damage of Lugging to the Engine?

Lugging can cause the following damages to the engine: 1. Low gear: When the engine is lugging in low gear, it experiences weak power output, severe shaking, and poor acceleration, which significantly affects the transmission. The most significant long-term harm of driving with low-speed lugging is carbon buildup, leading to a series of derivative issues such as severe carbon deposits due to incomplete fuel combustion. 2. High gear: Driving under lugging conditions can easily cause the engine to stall and result in high fuel consumption. Under such operating conditions, the engine may work near the critical speed. If the engine speed drops below 1000 rpm, it may stall.
