How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function on the Buick Verano Engine?
2 Answers
After each vehicle start, you need to manually press the button with the English letter 'A' and 'OFF' to turn off the auto start-stop function. Below is some relevant information about the Buick Verano: 1. Vehicle Design: The Buick Verano is built based on Buick's latest family design language, featuring a winged chrome grille, winged LED automatic sensing headlights, winged LED taillights, 17-inch ten-spoke two-tone aluminum alloy sport wheels, and a fastback roof. 2. Powertrain: In terms of power, the Verano offers two engine options: a 1.3T engine (maximum power 121kW/5600RPM) and a 1.0T engine (maximum power 92kW/6600RPM). For the transmission system, the former is paired with a new CVT intelligent continuously variable transmission, while the latter is matched with a 6-speed DSS intelligent transmission. The former has a fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100 kilometers, and the latter has a fuel consumption of 5.2L per 100 kilometers.
I've helped a friend with a similar issue before, and found the auto start-stop deactivation quite straightforward. In the Verano, look for the button slightly below the center of the dashboard – it has an icon of a capital 'A' with a curved arrow. Press it once to turn off the system, and the illuminated indicator confirms successful deactivation. However, it automatically reactivates every time you restart the car, requiring manual operation again – annoying but part of the safety design. Some drivers prefer disabling it in heavy traffic, like during rush hour stoplights, as frequent engine restarts can cause vibrations or affect AC performance; turning it off makes for smoother driving. Additionally, while the start-stop feature aims to save fuel and reduce emissions, prolonged frequent use may accelerate component wear. I recommend adjusting it flexibly based on road conditions – keeping it active on highways or smooth roads for fuel efficiency. Regularly check your battery health, as insufficient charge automatically disables start-stop, though manual deactivation is more reliable. Bottom line: it's a simple one-button operation – don't overthink it.
