Stop/start Function

ekimj10 · May 25, 2023

On previous cars (Audi A3 mainly) I've always used the stop/start function, since owning the Arona it has always been switched off. Not sure whether I prefer it switched on or off.
Has anyone any evidence that there is a fuel saving to be had using function? if so would appreciate your comments.
BTW I only found out how easy to switch it on/off by mistake.

Are you suggesting a permanent 'switch-off' or do you just press the button each time you start?

I hadn't realised it reverts to 'on' when the ignition is turned on. All I can say it is a very seamless transition when to resume to drive.
So thanks Number6 for education lesson. On reflection it's probably a difficult job to permanently switch off.
So I'm happy to things as is and read the manual before asking silly questions.

Easy to switch off permanently using either vcds or obdeleven. I just push the button every time I start the car so I can activate it if I know I'll be stationary for a while.

Until a few years ago you used to be able to code the function to remember the last setting but the vw group has removed that option.

I have a Seat Arona 2021 (pre-facelift) with MIB3. After changing the Start/Stop voltage limit in OBDeleven from 7V to 12V, the Start/Stop function is still enabled when the car is restarted. Is there any other way in OBDeleven to have this function disabled by default?
