How to Turn Off the Highlander Auto Start-Stop?

[DeJosephine]

To turn off the Highlander auto start-stop, follow these steps: The auto start-stop switch for the Highlander is located on the left side of the steering wheel. Pressing the stop and start cancel button will disable the stop and start system, and the dashboard will display a corresponding message. Pressing the button again will re-enable the system. Additional information: 1. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a traffic light) and restarts it when it's time to move again. 2. This system works by incorporating an enhanced motor with idle start-stop functionality into the engine, allowing the engine to completely shut off when idle stop conditions are met. When the vehicle needs to move again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's start command, restarting the engine seamlessly. 3. This technology can save up to 5% of fuel under normal driving conditions and up to 15% in congested traffic.
