How to Turn Off the Engine Start-Stop System?
2 Answers
To turn off the engine start-stop system, simply press the automatic start-stop switch. The functions of the automatic start-stop system are: 1. The engine can automatically shut off, reducing fuel consumption and emissions; 2. After the engine shuts off, the power supply can replace the belt pulley to provide operating power for the engine cooling fan and the in-car air conditioning. Precautions for the automatic start-stop system include: 1. Quickly shift to P gear and release the brake when the engine shuts off; 2. Reduce current consumption; 3. Do not repeatedly press the brake when the engine is off; 4. Let the engine speed drop to zero, engage the starter gear, and then restart; 5. Do not activate the automatic start-stop system during low-speed parking or when the air conditioning is on.
I hate the start-stop function the most when driving, as the engine keeps shutting off and restarting at frequent traffic lights. Actually, just look for the button with the letter A on the center console—it has an icon of a circular arrow wrapping halfway around. Press it until the light turns on, which means it's deactivated. Remember to turn it off again next time you start the car, as the system defaults to being enabled. Don't recklessly unplug sensor wires to save battery—that can trigger false fault warnings, and dashboard alerts can be quite alarming. If your car has a memory function, you might be able to reprogram it to permanently disable the feature, but this could void the warranty. If you really want to modify it, go to an authorized shop.
