Which button controls the automatic start-stop function in the Verano?

The automatic start-stop function in the Verano is controlled by the A OFF button located next to the reverse radar switch. The engine automatic start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) during driving, and automatically restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. The Verano is a compact sedan under SAIC-GM Buick, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Its body structure is a 4-door 5-seater sedan with a trunk capacity of 455 liters and a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters. The Verano is equipped with either a 1.0T or 1.3T turbocharged engine in an L-type cylinder arrangement, paired with either a 6-speed automatic transmission or a continuously variable transmission. It features front-wheel drive and a suspension system consisting of MacPherson strut front suspension and a rear torsion beam with Watt's linkage non-independent rear suspension.
My car is a Buick Verano, and the auto start-stop button is located in the center console area, near the air conditioning controls. It usually has an icon with an 'A' inside a circle. When you press it, the system remembers the setting, and the auto state will be restored the next time you start the car. I often drive in the city for my commute, and this feature is quite useful during traffic jams, as it saves some fuel. However, when starts are too frequent, I press it to turn it off. The key is, if you accidentally disable the system reminder, the icon will light up a warning light on the dashboard, so you should pay extra attention to the battery condition, as low battery levels can affect the start-stop function. I recommend that new drivers familiarize themselves with the button position after getting the car to avoid distractions while driving—safety first. Also, the start-stop might not work when using the heater in winter or the AC in summer; this isn’t necessarily a problem and is often the protection mechanism at play. Regular maintenance checks on battery health can help extend its lifespan.
