When you hit the road in the Highlander, the auto start-stop function is enabled by default, meaning you don't need to do anything after starting the vehicle. While driving, when encountering a red light or traffic congestion, as the speed drops to zero and the brake is pressed, the engine automatically shuts off—saving fuel and keeping things quiet. Release the brake or lightly press the accelerator, and it restarts instantly, ensuring a smooth and jerk-free takeoff. This feature is incredibly practical, helping me save a significant amount on fuel costs every time I drive, especially in urban traffic jams. Over time, it cuts down fuel expenses considerably. Turning it off is simple too—just press the dedicated auto start-stop button near the steering wheel, and the light will indicate it's deactivated. However, I don’t recommend disabling it frequently, as it’s both eco-friendly and cost-effective. The air conditioning operates normally without interference, unless on extremely hot days or when the battery is low—the system will automatically pause the function as a safety precaution. Overall, it feels smart and reliable.

The engine will restart upon releasing the brake pedal.

What does SYNC on the Magotan's air conditioning mean?

The SYNC on the Magotan is a synchronized temperature control button. Below is an introduction to SYNC: 1. The SYNC button is primarily used to cancel the synchronized temperature control of the dual-zone air conditioning. 2. SYNC is the button that cancels the synchronized temperature on both sides, allowing the temperatures on each side to be set independently. 3. Whenever the temperatures on both sides are different, the SYNC button will light up. Pressing SYNC at this time will immediately synchronize the passenger side's air conditioning temperature to match the driver's side. Then, adjusting the passenger side's temperature knob will change the temperature, and the SYNC button will light up again. The passenger side's temperature will follow the driver's side's temperature changes, but the driver's side will not be affected by the passenger side's temperature adjustments.
