To turn off the auto start-stop function on Mazda CX4, press and hold the i-stop button for two seconds until the indicator light on the dashboard turns orange, indicating the auto start-stop is deactivated. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The Mazda CX4 is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV under FAW Mazda, with body dimensions of 4637mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1524mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. 2. The Mazda CX4 is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 158 PS and a maximum torque of 202 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Mazda CX-4 for quite a while, and turning off the auto start-stop is actually quite simple. After starting the car, there's a button on the lower left side of the steering wheel labeled "i-Stop Off." Pressing it to light up the indicator means the system is turned off. Every time you start the engine, it defaults to being on again, so you have to press it once more. Many people find it annoying when the start-stop feature keeps restarting the engine during traffic jams or frequent stops, but the upside is that it saves a bit of fuel. A friend of mine tried modifying the wiring to permanently disable it, but that can easily affect the warranty, so manually pressing it each time feels more reliable. Overall, there aren’t any complicated steps—just get used to pressing the button twice in daily driving. If the button doesn’t respond, it might be a system issue, so it’s best to check the fuse or visit the dealership. Keeping driving comfort is what matters most.
