What is the reason for the engine auto start-stop not being provided?

First, ensure that the auto start-stop function is not turned off. Then, the seat belt must be fastened, the air conditioning temperature should not be set to the lowest, and the coolant temperature should not be too low. Below is an introduction to the auto start-stop system: 1. Auto Start-Stop: The engine auto start-stop automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light). When it's time to move again, the system automatically restarts the engine. 2. Auto Hold: Auto Hold refers to an automatic braking function. Once activated, for example, when stopping at a red light, it eliminates the need to use the handbrake or electronic parking brake, simplifying operations. For automatic transmission models, it also avoids frequent shifting between D to N or D to P.
I often drive my own car and find that the auto start-stop not working is mainly due to battery issues. When the battery is aging or low on charge, the system automatically deactivates to prevent the battery from being completely drained. If the seatbelt isn't fastened properly or the door is open, the system also deems it unsafe and won't activate. In summer with the AC on high, or in winter when the engine coolant hasn't warmed up, the high load causes the start-stop to be ignored. This feature is originally intended to save fuel, but sometimes it can be quite annoying. It's best to regularly check the battery status and maintain the vehicle's electrical system to avoid rapid discharge when parked with all electrical devices on. If you encounter issues, first consult the manual for simple troubleshooting. If that doesn't work, seek professional inspection to avoid affecting your daily driving experience.
