How to Turn Off the Engine Start-Stop Function in the Tayron?

[Clark]

The method to turn off the engine start-stop function in the Tayron is to press the start-stop button with a circular arrow surrounding the letter 'A'. The usage method of the Tayron's engine start-stop is: 1. Press the engine start-stop switch button to activate the engine start-stop; 2. Step on the brake pedal to turn off the engine, then step on the brake again to restart the engine. Taking the 2020 2WD Comfort Smart Link Edition Tayron as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4589mm, width 1860mm, height 1660mm, wheelbase 2731mm, fuel tank capacity 60L, and trunk capacity 1590L. The 2020 2WD Comfort Smart Link Edition Tayron is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, maximum torque of 250Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Last time I drove my friend's Tayron, the auto start-stop feature was also driving me crazy. After searching for a long time, I finally found the off button right next to the gear lever—it's a circular icon with the letter 'A'. You have to manually press it every time you start the car, and the button's indicator light must be on to confirm it's deactivated. Manufacturers designed it this way mainly to meet emission test requirements, but in reality, it's incredibly annoying in city driving—the engine suddenly shuts off at red lights, and the air conditioning airflow drops along with it. If it really bothers you, you can buy an auto start-stop disable module and plug it into the OBD port, but be mindful of the battery voltage status—if the voltage is too low, the system will forcibly reactivate the start-stop feature.

Having driven the Tiguan for over two years, I'm quite familiar with turning off the start-stop system. After starting the car, just reach down below the center console with your right hand. Among the row of buttons to the left of the electronic gear lever, there's one with an arrow in a circle - press it and the dashboard will show 'Start-Stop Deactivated'. The catch is this setting isn't permanently saved, so you'll need to press it again after the next ignition. I heard the 2024 model changed this logic - putting it in Sport mode can force disable the start-stop. Also worth noting: it's best to turn it off when using the heater in winter, otherwise you'll get a sudden blast of cold air from the vents when the engine restarts.

Turning off the start-stop system in the Tayron takes just two steps: Press the physical button with a circular arrow in the gear area immediately after ignition. The button is quite discreetly placed next to the drive mode knob – even the salesperson didn’t explain it clearly when I picked up the car. This feature is particularly annoying in traffic jams, as the engine repeatedly starting and stopping not only drains the battery but also causes a half-second delay when accelerating. I’ve developed a habit of turning off the start-stop first thing after starting the car, before even fastening my seatbelt. Interestingly, if you’re using a car charger with high power consumption, the system automatically disables the start-stop function, which is a handy workaround.

Just studied the start-stop logic of the Tayron: The off button is located behind the electronic handbrake, marked with an engine icon. The key point is that this function is linked to the vehicle's voltage system. When the battery level is below 70% or the rear window defroster is on, pressing the button won't turn it off. Some car owners have installed a relay in the fuse box to permanently disable it, but I don't recommend this as it might trigger fault codes. Actually, holding the start-stop button for 3 seconds before wading through water on rainy days can completely turn it off—this is a hidden trick to prevent secondary starts.

Last week, while driving the Tayron on a long trip, I discovered the trick to turning off the start-stop system. Besides pressing the prominent OFF button on the center console, setting the air conditioning to the lowest temperature or turning the fan to maximum can also indirectly disable the start-stop. The easiest method is to use a 5053 cable to enable the hidden feature of start-stop memory, which permanently turns it off. However, be aware that modifications might void the warranty on the electrical system at the dealership. Actually, releasing the brake slightly before the traffic light turns green can also reduce engine vibration.
