To turn off the auto start-stop in the 14th generation Sylphy, simply press the auto start-stop button. Below is some information about the auto start-stop feature: 1. The auto start-stop temporarily shuts off the engine (e.g., when waiting at a traffic light). During this time, you must keep your foot on the brake pedal and not release it. Releasing the brake pedal will restart the engine. 2. The auto start-stop function can only be permanently disabled by coding. Normally, the driver needs to manually turn it off each time in the car. 3. When the battery level is below 60%, the auto start-stop function remains dormant.

I remember when I first drove the 14th-generation Sylphy, I was particularly annoyed by the auto start-stop feature. Every time I stopped at a red light, the engine would shut off, and the shudder upon restarting made me uncomfortable. Turning it off is super easy: just look for a small button on the left side of the steering wheel or the center console, marked with an 'A' and an OFF icon, and give it a gentle press. A yellow light on the dashboard will illuminate to show it's deactivated—it takes just a second or two. Personally, I often turn it off in congested city traffic to save the battery's lifespan and enjoy a smoother, quieter ride. Just remember, you’ll need to press it again after each engine start—there’s no permanent disable option. The Sylphy’s system is thoughtfully designed; the deactivation takes immediate effect without interfering with other functions. If you’re concerned about fuel economy, real-world tests show occasional deactivation has minimal impact, but making it a habit significantly boosts driving comfort.

As someone with some knowledge about cars, I don't find it difficult to turn off the auto start-stop feature in the 14th-generation Sylphy. The specific button is located on the dashboard in front of the driver's seat or below the right side of the steering wheel, marked with 'Start-Stop OFF.' Press it with your finger to deactivate the function. This mechanism relies on battery sensors, and the conditions for triggering start-stop are quite strict. After turning it off, the system is temporarily disabled to prevent frequent engine starts. When driving on slopes or in snowy/rainy conditions, manually turning it off can enhance safety and reduce the risk of rolling. Although start-stop helps with fuel economy, I noticed no significant change in the Sylphy's fuel consumption after turning it off a few times. For daily use, I recommend switching it on or off as needed—for example, operating it when road conditions are poor, as it hardly interferes on highways. This way, you protect the hardware without compromising environmental goals.

Turning off the auto start-stop on the 14th-generation Sylphy is easy—just press the dedicated button once, usually located near the steering wheel or a prominent spot on the dashboard. I disable it primarily because I dislike the vibration sensation, especially during frequent short-distance stops. The Sylphy's start-stop system activates by default upon ignition, but turning it off can extend the battery's lifespan. While this feature saves fuel, toggling it flexibly doesn’t compromise overall efficiency. The operation takes mere seconds without tools. Use it wisely—avoid keeping it off constantly to maintain balance.

What happens if the temperature of automotive urea is too high?

Excessive temperature in automotive urea can lead to an increase in free alkali and free ammonia content. Specific details about automotive urea are as follows: 1. Storage temperature for urea: During transportation, urea should be protected from light and high temperatures. The optimal transportation and storage temperature should be maintained between -5°C and 25°C. 2. Low temperature: Automotive urea will crystallize when the temperature drops, expanding in volume by 7%. Storage rooms should be kept below 90% of the storage capacity. 3. High temperature: High temperatures can cause urea to decompose. Generally, the storage temperature of urea is related to its storage duration.

Is the License Plate Fee Mandatory to Pay at the 4S Store?

It is not mandatory. Below is the relevant information: Regulations: According to Article 9 of the "Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law of the People's Republic of China," consumers have the right to independently choose goods or services. Consumers have the right to independently select the operators providing goods or services, choose the types of goods or methods of services, and decide whether to purchase any product or accept any service. When making independent choices, consumers have the right to compare, evaluate, and select. Considerations: Shop around—only by spending more time and effort to compare can you avoid being taken advantage of. If the license plate fee seems too high, try purchasing from another 4S store. If all stores charge a license plate fee, try to negotiate the fee down to the minimum possible. This is the only way to ensure you don’t overspend unnecessarily.

Why Does the Car Shake More When It Gets Hotter?

It may be caused by carbon deposits in the engine or throttle body. Below is a related introduction to the reasons for car shaking: 1. Ignition system issues: Check the working condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or faulty spark plug firing can also lead to this type of problem. The solution is to check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. 2. Unstable oil pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the oil gasket and spark plugs, but still notice the car shaking at idle, check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can cause the car to shake. The solution is to check the oil pressure and replace the components if necessary.

Does Parking and Listening to Music Drain the Battery?

Parking and listening to music does drain the battery. Here are some related points about parking and listening to music: 1. Idling while listening to music: Although idling while listening to music does not use the battery's power, prolonged idling can easily lead to carbon buildup in the engine. Statistics show that idling while listening to music consumes an additional 2-3L of fuel per hour on average, costing around ten dollars per hour. 2. Precautions when turning off the car: Turn off the air conditioning, and check if the cigarette lighter is off when shutting down the engine. The cigarette lighter is not only used for lighting cigarettes but also powers devices like GPS, dash cams, and air purifiers. If these devices remain powered when the engine is off, it can cause "battery drain." It is advisable to avoid listening to music or using any electrical devices when the engine is off.
