2 Answers
The method to use the auto start-stop feature in the Buick Excelle is: 1. Turn on the start-stop function; 2. Press the off button next to the start button, the indicator light should not be lit; 3. Shift to D gear, step on the brake to stop, and the engine will automatically shut off; 4. Release the brake and the engine will automatically restart. The auto start-stop system is a set of functions that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and automatically restarts the engine when it needs to move forward again. The Buick Excelle is a compact car under the Buick brand, with body dimensions of: length 4609mm, width 1798mm, height 1486mm, and a wheelbase of 2640mm.
As a beginner driver just learning to drive, I initially found the auto start-stop feature on the Buick Excelle quite fascinating. The operation is simple: There's usually a button with an 'A' symbol, typically located near the steering wheel or on the center console. After starting the car, press the button to illuminate the light, and the function is activated. When stopping at a red light, firmly press the brake pedal, and the engine will automatically shut off to save fuel; pressing the accelerator will restart it immediately. The first time I used it, I felt a slight vibration, but it became very smooth once I got used to it. During traffic jams, I recommend turning it off to avoid frequent start-stop cycles that could wear out components. Remember to check the manual to confirm compatibility, and if any issues arise, first check if the button light is on. For regular city driving, it helps me save a significant amount on fuel costs, and the air conditioning briefly continues to operate. Overall, it's very practical—just practice a few times to get the hang of it, and don't worry about technical issues.
