3 Answers
To turn off the auto start-stop in ix25, simply press the auto start-stop button. The auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when it's time to move forward again. Taking the 2020 ix25 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4300mm, width 1790mm, height 1620mm, with a wheelbase of 2610mm and a minimum ground clearance of 154mm. The 2020 ix25 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 84.4kW and a maximum torque of 143.8Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
When I first drove the ix25, the auto start-stop feature kept shutting off the engine at traffic lights, which was quite annoying. Fortunately, there's a dedicated button to turn it off, usually located near the center console, marked with an 'A' symbol. Pressing it will deactivate the feature. The dashboard will light up an indicator to remind you that it's been turned off. However, note that it defaults to being on every time you start the vehicle, so you'll need to press it again. If you can't find it, check the manual or ask at the 4S shop. I also found that turning it off made the start-stop much smoother, eliminating the worry about the slight jolt from frequent engine restarts, making driving more comfortable. Although this feature can save fuel, I think comfort is more important, especially in congested urban traffic conditions.
As a parent, I use the ix25 to pick up and drop off my kids at school. The auto start-stop system often shuts off the engine when stopping, which has woken my child a few times. I quickly learned to turn it off: just look for a small button on the left side of the steering wheel labeled 'A Off' and press it—problem solved. The operation is simple, and the car becomes instantly quiet. After turning it off, the car starts smoothly, with less noise, and my family approves. The feature is designed to save fuel, but it can be overly sensitive, especially when the battery is low or the air conditioning is on high, causing it to activate automatically. It's recommended to regularly check if the button is functioning to avoid system interference with the driving experience—safety first.
