Here is how to use the engine start-stop feature in the Verano: 1. First, press and hold the vehicle's brake pedal to keep the car stationary. 2. Then, shift the gear lever to the D (Drive) position to prevent any movement of the vehicle during the process of turning the auto start-stop function on or off, which could potentially harm the engine system. 3. Next, press the button on the center console to turn the auto start-stop function on or off. The first press activates the function, and pressing it again deactivates it. Here is some information about the engine start-stop feature: (1) The engine start-stop technology automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving. (2) When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine.

I've been driving the Verano for several years, and the start-stop function is quite convenient. Normally, it's enabled by default after you start the car. When you come to a stop at a red light or temporarily halt and hold the brake for a few seconds, a warning light on the dashboard will illuminate, indicating the engine has shut off. When the light turns green, releasing the brake or lightly pressing the accelerator will instantly restart the engine with almost no delay. If you want to manually toggle it, look for the button with an 'A' symbol on the center console—press it to turn the function off or on. The fuel-saving effect is noticeable; I save dozens of yuan on gas each month. However, you should pay attention to battery health—if the engine starts sluggishly, it might be time to replace the battery. Avoid using this feature in heavy traffic, as the frequent stops and starts can be annoying. I recommend beginners start practicing on simpler routes. Regularly check for system software updates to ensure smoother optimization.
