How to Turn Off the Start-Stop Function in Camry?
2 Answers
Camry's method to turn off the start-stop function: 1. Use the one-touch start button or key to start the vehicle without pressing the brake pedal to power on the vehicle; 2. Locate the engine start-stop control button, which is on the left side of the center console panel; 3. Press the button labeled with 'A' and 'OFF' to deactivate the engine start-stop function. The Camry features a sleek and sophisticated exterior with user-friendly functionalities, including the PCS Pre-Collision Safety System, LDA Lane Departure Alert System, AHB Automatic High Beam System, and DRCC Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System. Additionally, it is equipped with various sensors to monitor the driving environment, providing enhanced driving assistance for safer journeys.
As a new owner, I was quite confused the first time I tried to turn off the start-stop function on my Camry, but later found it to be quite simple. After starting the car, look at the dashboard or center console for a button with an 'A' and a circle with a slash—pressing it temporarily disables the start-stop feature. It's important to note that this function automatically reactivates every time you restart the car, so make it a habit to press the button again before driving off. I understand that start-stop is designed for fuel efficiency and environmental benefits, but during frequent stops in traffic or when parking on slopes, the engine constantly restarting can feel unstable—turning it off provides peace of mind. I recommend new drivers practice locating the button a few times, as it’s usually near the steering wheel or in a prominent spot on the center console.
