How to Turn Off the Engine Auto Start-Stop Function in the Verano?
2 Answers
To turn off the engine auto start-stop function in the Verano, press the off button marked with the letter 'a'. The primary purpose of this feature is energy conservation and reducing exhaust emissions. Disabling the start-stop function allows the driver to have better control over the vehicle. The auto start-stop function refers to a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when it's time to move again. Notes for using the start-stop function include: 1. Quickly shift to P gear and release the brake when the engine stops; 2. Minimize electrical consumption; 3. Avoid repeatedly pressing the brake pedal when the engine is off; 4. Ensure the engine speed drops to zero before engaging the starter gear for a restart; 5. Do not activate the auto start-stop system during low-speed parking or when the air conditioning is on.
Turning off the automatic start-stop function on the Verano is quite simple. You just need to press the button on the center console with the 'A' letter and arrow icon. After starting the vehicle, the function is enabled by default. Pressing the button will light up or turn off the indicator to show the disabled status, temporarily stopping the auto start-stop. Don't worry, it will automatically reactivate after restarting the car. If you don't want to manually operate it every time, you can check the settings menu to see if there's an option to permanently disable it, but most models don't support permanent deactivation and rely on manual button control. I often turn off this feature when driving the Verano because the frequent engine restarts in traffic jams are quite annoying and affect driving comfort. Refer to your vehicle manual to confirm the exact button location, usually near the steering wheel or below the instrument panel. It's recommended to disable it during rainy days or highway driving to avoid risks caused by sudden restarts. The fuel-saving effect is minimal, but the convenience improvement is significant. During regular maintenance, have the technician check if the function is working properly to prevent minor issues from accumulating.
