I find the automatic start and stop feature on my Vauxhall Crossland to be bothersome. Is there a way to turn it off permanently?
ReplyTo turn off the automatic start and stop feature permanently, you can disable the feature in the Vauxhall Crossland Settings menu. Look for the Start/Stop Function option and turn it off. This will prevent the engine from shutting off when you come to a stop. Keep in mind, however, that this feature is designed to improve fuel efficiency, so consider leaving it on unless it really bothers you.
Another option is to manually turn off the automatic start and stop feature each time you start the car. The button to do this is located on the center console near the gear shift. Press the button to turn off the feature and an indicator light will appear on your dashboard. Keep in mind that this will need to be done each time you start your car.
If you don't mind having the feature turned on, but just want to turn it off temporarily, you can press the brake pedal more firmly when coming to a stop. This will prevent the engine from shutting off. Keep in mind that the feature will still be active and will turn off again at the next stop unless you disable it permanently or manually turn it off.
