When I drove a Porsche before, turning off the start-stop function meant disabling the automatic start-stop system. There's a button in the Porsche with a start-stop icon; pressing it turns the system off. Originally, the system would automatically shut off the engine at red lights or in traffic jams to save fuel, but after turning it off, the engine keeps running continuously. I found this particularly useful for city driving—in heavy traffic, the constant stopping and restarting of the engine made the car shake annoyingly, but after disabling it, the ride became much smoother. However, fuel consumption increases slightly, so long-term use might cost a bit more in gas. I tried it a few times and felt it was fine on highways or in suburban areas, but for city commuting, it's best to turn off the start-stop to prevent sluggish starts or the air conditioning cutting out. Turning it back on is just as easy—just press the button again.

Porsche's start-stop function refers to the auto start-stop system, and turning it off means manually deactivating this automatic mechanism. The system uses sensors to shut off the engine when the vehicle is stationary, but frequent operation places significant load on the battery. Through testing, I found that after deactivation, current fluctuations cease, which helps preserve battery lifespan—especially beneficial during winter when battery performance declines. Operationally, most Porsche models feature a dedicated button on the center console; pressing it deactivates the system with an illuminated indicator. While fuel efficiency may slightly decrease, driving becomes smoother. In owner communities, many drivers disable it during traffic congestion to eliminate potential safety risks caused by delayed restarts.

Turning off the start-stop function on a Porsche is very straightforward. Simply locate the start-stop switch button, typically found near the steering wheel or in the central control area. Press the icon to illuminate it, and the engine will no longer automatically stop and start. This feature is particularly useful in heavy traffic or areas with frequent red lights, as driving becomes much smoother and more responsive after deactivation. Porsche's battery system is quite sophisticated, and disabling the start-stop function can reduce wear and tear, saving you from potential maintenance hassles.

After turning off Porsche's start-stop function, the auto start-stop becomes inactive. I often encounter peak-hour traffic in big cities, so I turn it off to keep the engine running smoothly and avoid the waiting time for a restart, which is especially efficient when in a hurry. Although fuel consumption increases slightly, the trade-off for smoother driving is worth it, especially when using the air conditioning or audio system, as stable power supply is crucial. I usually turn it off in urban areas and turn it on during highway driving.

FAW Mazda's models include the CX-4, CX-7, CX-9, Mazda6, and Ruiyi. Different headquarters: Changan Mazda's headquarters is located in Nanjing. FAW Mazda's headquarters is located in Changchun, Jilin. Differences in components: Changan Mazda has production lines in China, with its headquarters in Nanjing. Initially, the engines were imported from Japan, the transmissions were made in Thailand, and the chassis frames were stamped and welded at the Nanjing production line. However, after gradually mastering the core technologies and being able to stably produce qualified products, all current batches of Changan Mazda models are domestically produced, except for the CX-3, which is imported. FAW Mazda, headquartered in Changchun, Jilin, does not have production lines for the three major components in China, so the three major components are all imported, with only the frame attachments and similar parts being domestically produced.

Why does the automatic transmission shift with a jerk?

Automatic transmission shifting with a jerk may be caused by: clutch pressure leakage in the transmission; blockage or poor flow in the transmission oil circuit; insufficient transmission oil level; or damaged solenoid valves. The engine's power is transmitted through the transmission, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, an automatic transmission consumes over 10% more fuel than a manual transmission. Whether manual or automatic, more gears mean better fuel efficiency. Here is additional information: Jerky shifting in automatic transmission cars: Damaged solenoid valves. If sludge in the transmission oil circulates and blocks the oil passages in the valve body, it can cause jerky shifting. Over time, this can lead to a series of transmission issues such as overheating, jerking, slippage, etc.

What are some attractive headlines for the Buick LaCrosse?

Attractive headlines for the Buick LaCrosse include: Headline 1: We can't change the noise, but we can create tranquility. Headline 2: Stay quiet when others are noisy, speak up when everyone is silent. Headline 3: We can't change the unknown, but we can create composure. Relevant information is introduced as follows: The LaCrosse is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine with impressive data, with a maximum power of 187kW/5300rpm and torque of 350Nm/2000-5000rpm, both ranking at the leading position among engines in the same class. Thanks to the adoption of a direct-injection engine, the new LaCrosse can still output good torque even at lower RPMs, and the acceleration feels very direct, fully showcasing the advantages of turbocharged models. However, possibly due to the relatively large size of the vehicle, the acceleration of this car does not burst instantly like Volkswagen models, but the power output appears very linear. The initial acceleration gives a feeling similar to a 3.0L naturally aspirated model, and the smooth acceleration does not affect ride comfort at all.
