How to Turn Off the Start-Stop Function on a 2019 Sagitar?
2 Answers
The start-stop switch for the 2019 Sagitar is located in front of the gear lever, featuring a button with a capital 'A' inside a circle and 'OFF' below it. The start-stop system is automatically enabled when the ignition is turned on, and pressing the button once will deactivate it. Here is more information about the start-stop system: 1. Disadvantages: While the start-stop system saves fuel, it reduces comfort. The vehicle's acceleration is slightly slower than normal, and there is a slight vibration at the moment of starting. 2. Working Principle: When the vehicle stops due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. The start-stop system automatically detects that the engine is idling and in neutral, the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero, and the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for a restart. The engine then automatically stops.
When driving my 2019 Sagitar, I often manually turn off the start-stop function. The method is simple: after starting the car, locate the button at the lower left of the instrument panel marked with an 'A' and a surrounding circle, then press it once. This feature defaults to 'on' after each ignition, requiring manual deactivation, so I've developed the habit of pressing the button immediately upon entering the car. Why do I disable it? In urban traffic jams, frequent engine shutdowns and restarts not only cause slight body vibrations that affect driving comfort but also impose additional wear on the starter motor. Additionally, air conditioning cooling efficiency may be compromised during summer. Turning it off results in a smoother driving experience, eliminating concerns about sudden engine shutdowns. However, remember this is only a temporary deactivation – the next time you start the car, you'll need to repeat the procedure.
