What does AOFF mean on a car?
1 Answers
AOFF on a car refers to the automatic start-stop switch. When the button indicator light is on, the start-stop function is turned off. Pressing the button to turn off the indicator light enables the start-stop function. The automatic start-stop function helps reduce exhaust emissions and save fuel, and it is now commonly equipped in many vehicles. Automatic start-stop automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) and restarts the engine when it's time to move again. In cars equipped with this feature, the system will shut off the engine at a red light if the battery has sufficient charge and the engine coolant has reached normal operating temperature. If the battery charge is insufficient, the automatic start-stop system will not function.
