How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in the 14th Generation Sylphy?
2 Answers
14th Generation Sylphy Auto Start-Stop needs to be turned off, simply press the auto start-stop button. Here is some information about auto start-stop: 1. Auto start-stop temporarily shuts off the engine (e.g., at traffic lights), during which you must keep your foot on the brake pedal and not release it. Releasing the brake pedal will restart the engine. 2. The auto start-stop function can only be permanently disabled by reprogramming the code; otherwise, the driver needs to manually turn it off each time when using the car. 3. When the battery level is <60%, the auto start-stop function remains dormant.
I've been driving the 14th-generation Sylphy for a while now, and I always turn off the auto start-stop function every time I get in the car. On the left side of the dashboard near the steering wheel, there's a button with an 'A' inside a circular arrow. Press it once to turn it off, and the button's indicator light will turn yellow, confirming it's deactivated. The annoying part is that this setting resets to default (on) every time you restart the engine, so you need to make it a habit to manually disable it before driving each time. Some people mistake this for a malfunction, but actually, all Nissan models are designed this way. It's recommended to turn it off in heavy traffic or at frequent red lights for peace of mind, as frequent start-stop cycles do put strain on the battery. You might also notice power hesitation when the air conditioning compressor is running. However, it's quite useful for saving fuel during prolonged stops. When you want to conserve fuel during long idling periods, activating it is a good idea.
