How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in the Bora Legend?
2 Answers
The Bora Legend features an auto start-stop deactivation button located in front of the gear lever. Press this button after entering the vehicle to turn off the auto start-stop system. The button icon for the auto start-stop function is a circle with the letter 'A' inside and the word 'off' beside it. The Bora Legend measures 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1473mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The entire Bora Legend lineup is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, code-named EA211-DLF, delivering 112 horsepower and a maximum torque of 145 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6100 rpm and its peak torque at 4000 rpm. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Owners of the Volkswagen Bora Legend are well aware of how annoying the auto start-stop feature can be, especially in traffic jams where the engine keeps shutting off and restarting. After much trial and error, I discovered the deactivation button is located near the gear lever on the center console - just press the button marked with a circled 'A' letter, and a yellow indicator light will illuminate on the instrument cluster. However, you'll need to manually disable it every time you start the car since the system defaults to active mode. Why do most drivers prefer turning it off? Repeated start-stop cycles actually damage the battery, and it hardly saves fuel on short trips. Most critically, it poses serious risks when driving through flooded roads. If the button malfunctions, it might be a contact issue requiring a dealership visit to inspect the wiring connections.
