How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in Bora Legend?
2 Answers
The auto start-stop button in Bora Legend is located to the right of the gear lever, marked with an 'A'. By default, it is in the 'on' state. To turn it off, simply press the button once. Here is a detailed introduction to the engine auto start-stop system: 1. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) and restarts it when it's time to move again. This system is achieved by equipping the traditional engine with an enhanced motor that has idle start-stop functionality, allowing the engine to completely shut off when idle stop conditions are met. When the vehicle needs to move again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's start command, rapidly restarting the engine for seamless transition, significantly reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. 2. The working principle is that when the vehicle stops due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this point, the Start/Stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. 3. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops. When the traffic light turns green, the driver presses the clutch (in manual transmission models), and the 'start-stop' function can be activated immediately, quickly restarting the engine. In automatic transmission models, simply releasing the brake or turning the steering wheel will automatically restart the engine, allowing the driver to accelerate immediately, all while remaining in D (Drive) mode.
I remember when I first drove the Bora Legend, I also found the auto start-stop feature quite annoying. Turning it off is actually very simple: after starting the car, don't rush to drive off. Look for a button with a circled 'A' or labeled 'AUTO START/STOP' on the center console. Just press that button—if the indicator light above it turns on, it means the function is disabled. It defaults to on every time you start the car, so you'll need to repeat this step. After turning it off, the car starts more smoothly, and you won't have to worry about engine vibrations from frequent stops at red lights. From my daily driving experience, disabling it also helps protect the battery from premature aging, especially in city traffic jams. I recommend new drivers give it a try—it's a quick adjustment. If the button isn't obvious, check the owner's manual; it's usually near the instrument panel. Overall, it's a one-minute setup.
