Honda Avancier turning off the auto start-stop method: There is an auto start-stop off button on the Avancier, located on the left side of the steering wheel. The button is marked with a circle containing the letter 'A'. Press this button to turn it off. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when needed to continue moving. The Avancier is a mid-size SUV equipped with two types of engines: one is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine featuring VTEC technology and direct fuel injection, with an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, paired with a CVT transmission. The other is a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, also featuring VTEC technology and direct fuel injection, with an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, paired with a 9AT transmission.
During my use of the Honda Avancier, I noticed that the auto start-stop function is enabled by default, which is quite fuel-efficient. However, during red lights or in congested traffic, the frequent starts and stops cause slight vibrations in the car, affecting driving comfort. The method to turn it off is simple: after starting the engine, locate the button marked 'A-OFF' or a similar icon on the right side of the steering wheel or the center console, press it to deactivate the system. The button's indicator light will illuminate, showing that it's disabled. After this operation, the engine won't shut off when stopped, making the drive smoother. The original intention of this feature is environmental protection and energy saving, but during peak hours in the city, its repeated starts can increase the burden on the battery and starter motor. Personally, I prefer to turn it off right after starting the car to ensure safety and comfort. It automatically resets to the default setting the next time you start the car, so you might need to repeat the operation.
