How to use the auto start-stop function in Audi A4L?
2 Answers
Audi A4L's auto start-stop function is used as follows: 1. When the vehicle comes to a temporary stop, this function automatically engages, putting the car into an auto shut-off state without the need to keep pressing the brake pedal; 2. To deactivate the auto start-stop during use, simply press the brake pedal once. Taking the 2020 Audi A4L as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4851mm, width 1847mm, height 1439mm, wheelbase 2908mm, and fuel tank capacity 56L. The 2020 Audi A4L is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum power speed range of 4200 to 6000 rpm.
I just drove an Audi A4L, and the auto start-stop feature worked quite smoothly. It’s enabled by default once you start the car. Every time I stop at a red light by pressing the brake, the engine shuts off immediately, and it restarts instantly when I release the brake—saving fuel and being eco-friendly. There’s a button near the dashboard to toggle it on or off. Using it in city traffic does reduce fuel consumption a bit. However, on hot days with the AC running or when the battery is low, the system might prevent the engine from stopping. After using the car for half a year, the engine’s repeated shutdowns and restarts haven’t caused any issues—it’s quick and quiet. Even beginners can use it effortlessly without needing time to figure it out. Note that the system may disable itself on steep slopes for safety. Overall, it’s worth it—I recommend trying it more to gain experience and not letting habits limit the fun. If the frequent restarts in heavy traffic get annoying, just turn it off for better control. In short, it makes daily driving more efficient, and this small detail enhances the driving experience.
