2 Answers
Mazda CX-4 auto start-stop function can be turned off by pressing the auto start-stop button located on the car's center console. Pressing the button once activates the auto start-stop function, and pressing it again turns the system off. Using the auto start-stop system may affect the comfort of the car. If the owner does not wish to use the auto start-stop system, it can be turned off before driving. Relevant information about Mazda is as follows: 1. Mazda is a Japanese automobile manufacturer founded by Jujiro Matsuda in 1920 in Hiroshima, Japan, which is also the headquarters of Mazda. 2. The Mazda logo is a soaring seagull, symbolizing the company's aspiration to soar high. The company's philosophy is to impress customers with infinite creativity and sincere service. Mazda's main sales markets are North America, Europe, and Asia.
I usually drive a Mazda CX4 to commute, and that auto start-stop feature is really annoying in traffic jams. Every time at a red light, the engine shuts off, making the car feel like it's shaking. Turning it off is simple: after starting the vehicle, there's a button with an 'i-STOP' icon on the left side of the steering wheel or on the center console—press it to turn it off, and the dashboard will light up as a reminder. However, you have to press it again every time you drive, as the system doesn't remember the setting. I've found that turning it off during rush hour makes the drive smoother, reduces the startup noise, and doesn’t significantly affect fuel consumption—it’s quite hassle-free. If you often drive in the city, you might want to try turning it off; at least you won’t have to keep thinking about the engine shutting off all the time.
