How to Turn Off the Vehicle Auto Start-Stop System?
1 Answers
Generally, vehicles equipped with an auto start-stop system have this function enabled by default. The owner can directly press the auto start-stop button (usually a circular arrow containing the letter 'A'), and the dashboard will indicate that the auto start-stop system is turned off. If you wish to use this function again, simply press the button to reactivate it. Frequent switching of the auto start-stop system has drawbacks. Below are the disadvantages of frequently turning the auto start-stop system on and off: 1. Higher maintenance costs for the battery and starter: Frequent engine starts and stops can damage related components, such as the starter and battery. 2. Poor user experience: Noise and vibrations are more noticeable when the auto start-stop system is activated. 3. Increased fuel consumption in traffic jams: During severe traffic congestion, the engine remains off for extended periods, causing the combustion chamber temperature to drop. Unburned hydrocarbons and paraffin can form carbon deposits on the cylinder walls. If the fuel quality is poor, the situation worsens. Carbon deposits lead to higher fuel consumption and weaker engine performance. Ironically, the auto start-stop function, designed to reduce fuel consumption, may instead increase it.
