Where to Turn On the Auto Start-Stop in the Boyue?
3 Answers
The Boyue series does not come equipped with an auto start-stop feature. Below are some relevant details about the Boyue: 1. Exterior: The front grille has been upgraded to a new ripple-style grille, complemented by a new black emblem and chrome trim around the grille. The wide air intake at the bottom of the front face gives it a premium and imposing look. 2. Features: The Boyue is equipped with tire pressure display, driver/passenger airbags. It also includes ten comfort and convenience features such as auto hold, one-touch up/down for the driver's window, and a rearview camera. 3. Performance: It is powered by a 1.8T L4 engine with a maximum output of 184 horsepower and peak torque of 300 N·m, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The top speed is 200 km/h, and the official combined fuel consumption is 7.7L/100km.
I'm quite familiar with tinkering with the auto start-stop feature on the Boyue. After starting the car, look for the 'A' button with a circular arrow on the center console AC panel - pressing it to turn off the indicator light means the system is activated. This smart feature automatically shuts off the engine when you brake hard at red lights, and restarts instantly when you release the pedal. However, I recommend manually turning it off during heavy traffic or rainy days - the yellow warning light with a slash on the dashboard indicates deactivation. By the way, the system automatically disables when the battery is low or when AC is running at full power, which shows thoughtful design. Most new cars now have it enabled by default, so if you've just picked up your vehicle, don't rush to find the switch - take a few days to get accustomed to the auto start-stop rhythm first.
The most frequently asked question about the Boyue is the location of the auto start-stop switch. When you sit in the driver's seat and look down at the left side of the air conditioning control area, the button with the letter 'A' is the one. The key is to pay attention to the status of the button indicator light: the light on means the function is turned off, while the light off means it's activated—many people get this logic reversed. When stopping at a red light, the shutdown triggered by pressing the brake pedal hard is particularly smooth, with no noticeable jerkiness. After driving for over three years, I've found it's best to manually turn it off when using air conditioning in summer, as frequent engine start-stop cycles can affect cooling efficiency. Recently, I've also noticed it's better to turn it off on continuous uphill sections to protect the battery and avoid hassle.
