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.

Can I drive on the highway with a cracked windshield?

It is not recommended to drive on the highway with a cracked windshield. When a vehicle is traveling at high speeds on the highway, the windshield is subjected to significant air pressure and wind resistance. The substantial pressure difference can cause the windshield to collapse. Although tempered glass does not shatter immediately and cause personal injury, a broken windshield at high speeds is extremely dangerous. Here are some precautions to take when driving on the highway: 1. Pre-drive vehicle inspection: Before driving, the driver should conduct a comprehensive check of the vehicle, with particular attention to various fluids, tires, the braking system, etc. Top up any fluids that are low to the appropriate levels; inspect the tires carefully and remove any debris from the tread. 2. Merging into highway traffic: When merging from the ramp into highway traffic, always yield to other vehicles, use turn signals, honk the horn, observe, and only enter the highway lane after ensuring it does not affect other vehicles. 3. Pay attention to highway signs: There are numerous signs on the highway, and failing to notice them can have very serious consequences.
