Is the Auto Start-Stop Light On Indicating Activation or Deactivation?
1 Answers
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.
