When the auto start-stop light is on, it indicates that the feature is deactivated. Upon initially starting the vehicle, the auto start-stop system is enabled by default, and the light remains off. Pressing the button to illuminate the light signifies that the auto start-stop function has been turned off. Each time the car is restarted, the auto start-stop system defaults to being active; it is not permanently disabled with a single press. When auto start-stop is deactivated, there will be a notification on the dashboard—a yellow light with a symbol of a circle 'A' accompanied by the letters 'OFF'. The display for auto start-stop may vary depending on the vehicle model; some models show a circle 'A' with a slash. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) and restarts it when it's time to move forward again.

What engine does the Scirocco R use?

The Scirocco R is equipped with the EA113 engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 256 HP, a maximum power output of 188 kW at 6000 rpm, and a peak torque of 330 N.m. The Scirocco R's engine is fully imported, manufactured in Portugal. For daily maintenance of the Scirocco R's engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB_CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will deteriorate over time. After a certain mileage, its performance degrades, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication points, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, sludge remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

How to Handle the Car STOP Warning?

Methods to handle the car STOP warning: Safely pull over to the side of the road and contact a 4S shop or professional auto repair shop for assistance. The STOP light is a warning indicator signaling that there is an issue with the car, requiring mandatory stopping. There are numerous potential causes, such as low engine oil pressure, low brake fluid level, or excessively high coolant temperature. Another scenario is that the vehicle itself may not have a fault, but a malfunctioning sensor can trigger the warning light. Therefore, the exact cause must be diagnosed through inspection at a 4S shop before targeted repairs can be performed. Typically, minor faults trigger a yellow light, while severe faults trigger a red light.

Can You Start the Engine in P Gear for an Automatic Transmission?

You can start the engine in P gear for an automatic transmission. After starting in P gear and passing through R gear, as long as you do not pause, there will be no additional damage to the transmission. Therefore, in daily driving, it is perfectly fine to start the engine in P gear, as long as you ensure not to linger in R gear, which will not cause extra harm to the transmission. Common gears for automatic transmissions include P gear, N gear, R gear, D gear, L gear, S gear, and M gear. Among these, P gear is the parking gear; N gear is the neutral gear; R gear is the reverse gear; D gear is the drive gear; L gear is the low gear, also known as the climbing gear; S gear is the sport gear, also known as sport mode.
