How to Turn Off the Chevrolet Auto Start-Stop Function?
2 Answers
You can find the start-stop system button in the vehicle's center console or the button area behind the gear lever. The function is enabled by default when the vehicle leaves the factory, which means "the yellow light is off." Pressing this button to turn "the yellow light on" will deactivate the start-stop function. The vehicle will recognize it as a child's accidental operation or other irregular operations. For the safety of the vehicle and personnel, the vehicle will automatically shut off.
I've been driving a Chevrolet for several years, and the auto start-stop function activates every time I start the car, which can be quite annoying in traffic jams due to the frequent engine restarts. Turning it off is simple—most Chevrolet models have a dedicated button on the dashboard or center console, usually marked with an 'A' or a restart icon. Press it once, and the light will go off, indicating it's disabled. However, note that this is only temporary; it will reactivate the next time you start the car. Permanent deactivation isn't possible unless you visit a modification shop, but I don’t recommend this as it may void the warranty. Personally, I prefer turning it off when driving in the city because frequent start-stop cycles can accelerate battery wear and make acceleration less smooth. The button location may vary slightly depending on the model, so I suggest checking the owner’s manual to confirm its position to avoid unnecessary hassle. In short, it takes just a few minutes to try, and the improved driving comfort is worth it.
