The method to turn off the auto start-stop in Mazda CX4: There is an auto start-stop button on the car's center console. Press it to activate the auto start-stop function, and press it again to turn off the auto start-stop system. Here is some additional information: Auto Start-Stop: The auto start-stop system in cars is enabled by default. When the car is powered on, the auto start-stop system is activated. If the owner does not want to use the auto start-stop system, they can turn it off before driving. Mazda CX4 body dimensions: The Mazda CX4 has a body length of 4633mm, width of 1840mm, height of 1535mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.
I've always been a car enthusiast, and driving my CX4, I find the auto start-stop feature quite bothersome at times. Every time I stop, the engine shuts off, and the slight shake upon restarting is really annoying. The method to turn it off is simple: there's a round button near the center console on the lower right side of the steering wheel, marked with an 'A' and an engine icon. Press it lightly, and an indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard, showing that the start-stop is deactivated. Note that the system defaults to 'on' every time you start the car, so make it a habit to press the button before driving. I always do this because, although it saves a bit of fuel, frequent start-stops can significantly shorten the battery's lifespan, especially in city traffic with constant stops and starts. In the long run, this actually increases maintenance costs. Additionally, some car owners mention that cold starts with the feature activated consume more fuel, making it counterproductive. Therefore, to protect the car's condition, I recommend manually turning it off for safety.
