How to use the auto start-stop function in Haval M6 Plus?

First, you need to locate a switch marked with the letter 'A'. After pressing this switch, the indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate, indicating that the auto start-stop system is not active. Pressing the switch again will activate the auto start-stop function.
Driving the Haval M6 Plus, the auto start-stop feature is quite intuitive. I usually keep it on by default without any extra settings. When you encounter a red light or stop the car, pressing the brake pedal firmly will automatically shut off the engine, and an icon will light up on the dashboard as a reminder. When you're ready to go, releasing the brake or lightly pressing the accelerator will quickly restart it. If you want manual control, look for the small button with an 'A' near the steering wheel and press it to toggle the feature on or off—turning it off during heavy traffic can save you from frequent start-stop annoyances. In real-world city driving, it saves about 5%-10% on fuel, and I’ve observed that the dashboard shows improved fuel efficiency. The system may pause when the air conditioning is on to avoid affecting cooling, and it automatically disables if the battery is low. Getting used to it has saved me quite a bit on expenses, though regular car maintenance checks are necessary. I recommend beginners keep it on to get accustomed—it’s easy to master quickly.
