How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in the Lamando?
2 Answers
Lamando allows permanent deactivation of the start-stop function via the central control screen. Follow these steps: 1. First, depress the vehicle's brake pedal to keep the car stationary; otherwise, disabling auto start-stop may affect the powertrain system. 2. After stopping, engage the electronic parking brake to prevent vehicle slippage, then tap the 'Settings' button on the central LCD screen to access vehicle settings. 3. Upon entering the auto start-stop settings interface, click the 'Off' button to permanently disable this function.
I've been driving the Volkswagen Lamando for a while, and the auto start-stop function keeps turning the engine on and off frequently during traffic jams, making the ride bumpy and uncomfortable. The vibrations when starting are quite annoying too. Turning it off is super simple: after starting the car, look for a small button near the steering wheel or gear shift lever on the center console labeled with the letter A or A OFF, and press it lightly. The dashboard will show a prompt indicating the function is off. You need to do this every time you drive because it's enabled by default. I recommend city drivers keep it turned off to avoid rapid wear on the engine starter or shortened battery life. Plus, driving more smoothly is safer anyway.
