How to use the auto start-stop function in Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
Buick Excelle auto start-stop usage method: 1. To activate the start-stop function, press the off button next to the one-touch start button (indicator light should be off), shift to D gear and drive for a period. 2. With D gear engaged, when braking to stop, the engine will automatically shut off. Release the brake to automatically restart the engine. For manual transmission, shift to neutral, then accelerate to continue driving. Additional information: 1. Idle start-stop technology, also known as STT system, is currently a very mature and stable energy-saving and emission-reduction technology in the market. 2. Its biggest feature is fuel efficiency, but this doesn't affect driving experience. When encountering a red light, the engine seems to instantly enter an "off" state, and when pressing the accelerator pedal again, the car immediately moves forward without affecting driving and riding experience.
Last time I drove the Buick Excelle to work, the auto start-stop feature was super convenient. After getting in and starting the engine, the function was on by default without any extra operation. When stopping at a red light by pressing the brake pedal firmly, the engine would automatically shut off, saving fuel and keeping things quiet; releasing the brake or lightly pressing the accelerator would immediately restart it. There's an 'A' button on the dashboard—pressing it turns off the start-stop feature, which can be more hassle-free during long traffic jams. Remember to keep the battery sufficiently charged, otherwise the start-stop might not work, especially in cold weather when it needs more charging. Checking the button status before each drive and making it a habit can improve driving efficiency and save some fuel costs—it's really great.
