2 Answers
The auto start-stop switch in the Nissan Sylphy is located at the front of the vehicle's center console, and the overall switch is mechanical. Below are the steps to use the auto start-stop function in the Nissan Sylphy: 1. When the vehicle is in motion, the auto start-stop switch is turned on by default. 2. Press and hold the auto start-stop switch to manually turn off the auto start-stop function. Here are some precautions when using the auto start-stop function: 1. When driving on slow-moving or congested roads, it is advisable to manually turn off the auto start-stop system to avoid potential vehicle damage. 2. While using the auto start-stop function, the driver needs to press the brake pedal firmly. The vehicle will automatically shut off when the brake is fully pressed and will restart when the brake is released and the accelerator is pressed. Drivers should adapt to this feature accordingly.
The automatic start-stop feature in the Sylphy is quite simple to use. After starting the engine upon entering the car, the system is usually enabled by default, and a green auto start-stop icon on the dashboard confirms it's active. When stopping at a red light, firmly press the brake, and the car will automatically shut off the engine; when the light turns green, gently press the accelerator, and the engine restarts instantly—the whole process is smooth with almost no noticeable delay. Over time, I've found it particularly fuel-efficient, especially in heavy traffic where it saves a lot on fuel costs. However, one thing to note is that when the air conditioning is on, if the engine shuts off, the cold air might stop briefly, which can be a bit uncomfortable in summer. In such cases, I recommend manually turning it off using the button, typically located below the steering wheel or on the center console—press it once, and the light goes off to deactivate it. New drivers can try it gradually and keep it enabled once accustomed, which is also good for the environment.
