What does the OFF button on the Lavida mean?
2 Answers
OFF button means off. The button with the OFF sign on the Lavida should be the ESP off button. Press and hold to turn off the ESP function. Here is some extended information: 1. When the OFF is on: When the vehicle's body stability control system is turned off, the OFF light will be on; when the car malfunctions, the OFF light will be on. 2. Lavida: Lavida (LAVIDA) is the first independently developed A-class car by Shanghai Volkswagen, launched in June 2008, and is an important model in Volkswagen's global product strategy. While continuing the "dynamic and fashionable" design of the A-class car market, it also reflects the integration of DNA design.
As an ordinary car owner, I often drive my Volkswagen Lavida in the city. That OFF button is actually the switch to deactivate the engine auto start-stop system. This system is designed to save fuel by automatically shutting off the engine at red lights, but it restarts as soon as you release the brake. It can get annoying when it activates too frequently in city traffic jams, so manually pressing OFF prevents it from acting up. After turning it off, the engine won't auto-stop, making the ride smoother with less vibration, especially when running the AC in summer to avoid interrupted cool air. However, a reminder: the start-stop system itself is eco-friendly and fuel-efficient, so don't always keep it off. There's no need to use the OFF button on highways—only activate it in city traffic or when stable power is needed. My habit is to check road conditions after starting the car and press the small button on the center console if necessary. It's simple to operate and doesn't affect driving.
