Where is the start-stop switch located on the Honda Elysion?

The start-stop switch of the Elysion is located on the lower left control panel, marked with an A-OFF symbol. The advantages and disadvantages of the engine auto start-stop function are as follows: Advantages of the auto start-stop function: It can reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy. In urban traffic, when waiting for traffic lights or in traffic jams, it can minimize the engine idle time. Additionally, after the engine shuts off, its power supply can replace the pulley to provide operating power for the engine cooling fan and the car's air conditioning system. Disadvantages of the auto start-stop function: It requires more durable starters and batteries. Conventional starter designs allow for high operating currents but are intended for short usage periods. Repeated use of the starter can easily cause overheating and damage, so starters with auto start-stop functionality must be much more durable than regular starters. At the same time, the increased number of battery charge and discharge cycles can also have a certain impact on battery life.
When I first drove this car, I was also curious about where the start-stop button was. The switch in the Honda Elysion is usually located near the instrument panel on the lower left side of the steering wheel, a small round button with the letter A or a similar symbol. The first time I looked for it, I just reached out from the driver's seat and found it easily—the placement is quite thoughtful, so you don't need to look down intentionally. This system automatically turns off the engine when stopping at a red light, saving fuel and being eco-friendly. On average, I save a few hundred dollars on gas each year. However, sometimes the frequent start-stop during heavy traffic can be annoying, so I manually turn it off. I recommend getting familiar with its location when you get in the car to avoid fumbling in critical moments—safety first!
