Where is the Engine Start-Stop Button Located?

[McSpencer]

Automatic start-stop buttons are typically located near the vehicle's gear shift lever or below the air conditioning panel. Some models may have this button positioned close to the ignition. The exact location varies by vehicle model. Below are important considerations regarding engine start-stop technology: 1. Disable start-stop on slopes: When the engine stops and restarts on an incline, there's a slight delay in providing braking force, which can cause the vehicle to roll when brakes are released, increasing danger. Modern vehicles can detect slopes and will temporarily disable start-stop on steep descents or ascents exceeding 12%. 2. Disable start-stop when using AC: Vehicles with this feature typically stop cooling when the engine shuts off, only providing air circulation, which affects comfort. In hot weather, cabin temperatures rise quickly, causing frequent engine restarts that increase wear. 3. Disable start-stop during water crossings: At low speeds through water, if brakes are applied, the system may stop the engine, creating negative pressure in the exhaust that could draw in water. Restarting with water in the exhaust can severely damage the engine. 4. Disable start-stop during low-speed parking: While the system doesn't activate in reverse gear, during complex parking maneuvers requiring multiple adjustments, unexpected engine stops can be both inconvenient and harmful to the vehicle.
