Method to turn off the auto start-stop function on the Buick Excelle: Locate the start-stop system button on the vehicle's center console or the button area behind the gear shift, and press it once to deactivate. The auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. The Buick Excelle is a premium mid-size sedan launched by SAIC-GM, with body dimensions of 4419mm in length, 1814mm in width, and 1487mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2685mm. In terms of exterior design, the Buick Excelle features the brand's signature winged chrome grille, giving the front fascia a sharper and more robust appearance. The combination of black piano vertical grille and high-gloss chrome winged grille naturally draws the visual focus of the front end to the emblem.
Every time I drive my Buick Excelle, I have to manually turn off the auto start-stop function because it's so annoying. The button is located below the left side of the steering wheel, with an 'A' icon. Just press it lightly, and the light turns on to indicate it's deactivated. I do this mainly because during city traffic jams, the engine shutting off and restarting causes significant vibrations and may affect battery life. The little fuel saved isn't worth the potential repair costs. If left on for long periods, it could also cause issues on slopes or slippery roads, so it's better to turn it off for peace of mind. I recommend new owners develop the habit of turning it off as soon as they get in the car, rather than letting it activate and cause trouble. After turning it off, the driving experience is noticeably smoother, and the battery lasts longer.
