How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in the Lamando?

[AmirLynn]

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.

As a frequent driver, I think the auto start-stop feature was originally designed to save fuel, but its effect is limited on the Lamando. The small amount of fuel saved sometimes isn't worth sacrificing comfort. The method to turn it off is quite straightforward: after starting the engine, look for a button on the center console dashboard shaped like a circle with an A, press it once to deactivate the function. Personally, I prefer to turn it off during short trips or in traffic jams—eliminating the engine start-up vibration makes the ride much smoother. I only turn it on during long highway drives to save some fuel. This trick helps me avoid unnecessary battery stress, and after driving for a while, it becomes quite handy.

From a driving perspective, the Lamando's auto start-stop relies on the battery and starter to operate. It saves fuel by shutting off the engine when stopped, but may cause jerky sensations. The deactivation method is physical: simply press the button inside the car to disable the function. If the battery ages, the system may automatically disable it, but manual control is more reliable. I've found that simpler is better—less complexity works best.
