Cadillac XT5's auto start-stop switch is located on the left side of the center control screen. To turn it off, simply press the corresponding button. Below is additional information: Tips for Using Cadillac XT5's Auto Start-Stop: The auto start-stop function needs to be turned off each time you start the car. If you want to permanently disable it, you must go to a 4S shop for settings. During holidays with frequent traffic jams, it is recommended to turn off the start-stop function. Frequent starts significantly reduce ride comfort. For vehicles without hill-start assist, this function should be turned off when starting on a slope to prevent rolling backward. Configuration of Cadillac XT5's Intelligent Start-Stop Function: All Cadillac XT5 models are equipped with the START/STOP intelligent start-stop function. It automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine.
When it comes to the auto start-stop switch of the Cadillac XT5, let me explain it in detail. The button is located on the center console, in the same row as the air conditioning buttons - look for the icon with an 'A' inside a circular arrow. When you press it, the dashboard will display a 'Start-Stop Deactivated' message, indicating it's turned off. But here's an important reminder - every time you restart the car, the system automatically reactivates! So if you don't like the start-stop feature, you'll need to make a habit of turning it off as soon as you start the car. Personally, I usually keep it disabled too, especially during stop-and-go city driving, to avoid frequent engine restarts and vibrations. The feature was originally designed to help save fuel, but actual user experience varies. By the way, when running AC in extremely hot weather, the stop duration tends to be shorter as the system prioritizes cooling performance.
