If you come to a stop smoothly it doesn't turn off only if you engage the brake pedal in a slightly firm way. I assume you might drive aggressively that's why it annoys you?
Bro! Over a million views and you are the first one to actually GET IT 😎👏
It's exactly the same way in the Audi and Porche, except we also have a physical button for it. Thank god lol
except does anyone actually like stop start? its fucking stupid
@@DrivenHard no one drives a fuckin Range Rover though they are trash cars always breaking down
@@abrahamsanchez7455 Have you heard of preventative maintenance? prob not
The cars emission rating is based on start stop, that's why manufacturers won't let you disable it permanently.
You can disable it with simple coding
I have a button on my bwm right above the start button that will let me disable start stop permanently….
You can litteraly drife to any car mechatronic and ask them to disable it permanently
I let it de programm from my CLS, i dont know if you get problems for doing that in the US
I can on my 2 series
"Never drive in this mode"
Doesn't give a reason why not to.
Fail.
Horrible for your engine
he's just showing off.
ikr, and people must be blind if they don't see that start up setting.
The auto start stop feature ruins the starter in the engine because it’s being used more times than usual. This is why you shouldn’t use it in my opinion.
@@MLProductions.1 no shit.
Based on the title he should probably cover more than how to disable it though.
It makes a significant difference in fuel savings, engineering explained did a video explaining it and showing the difference in fuel consumption
Ya I saw they recently. He nailed it actually like he does with most of his videos. IMO though the pain system is too flawed and interferes too much for me to care about ~4% savings at the pump.
Why u lie ? Those are lies bro , start stop its only created for less pollution I’m from Germany and my father works at VW :) It’s actually not good for your car to keep it on
@@charity9685 it doesn’t do any measurable damage to the car in my experience. It can cause wear on the battery though.
In the bmw though that I bought just after 2 weeks of driving it shows 1 hour and 40 minutes of time I have sat in traffic and the engine has been disabled. That is a significant saving on pollution and fuel use.
@@lukiejames there are special car batteries for normal vehicles,
Start-stop batteries and so on.
I had the same issue as you, until i decided to buy one (obviously more expensive) and i haven’t changed it for 3y now.
@@cristirock3 the dealership was changing the battery with the stop start AGM Mercedes’ authentic batteries for stop start. I think the main issue was that because it had the MBUX system and was always connected to the internet and the app, if you didn’t drive the car for a few days it really drained the battery quite heavily and over time that does damage the battery. I noticed as well on a few occasions after a week if I had not driven I got a low battery warning on the app and on the screen. I loved the Mercedes’ but after two years of annoying faults they bought the car back. The most annoying of all, a car that put itself into neutral whilst driving for no reason! However the system was so easy to use with the touchpad whilst driving. I just didn’t expect it to need a new battery each year of ownership.
I just bought the 330i and it’s a nice car, I don’t find it as exciting inside but it feels well built.
The bmw whilst not as exciting inside, really is so frugal on petrol I cannot believe it. It’s using 5-6L per 100km and it’s got more power then the Mercedes’ and an even bigger vehicle. It seems to be a bit smarter with the stop start, some how it knows at certain times that it’s not a good idea to engage.
The active grill also means the bmw is at optimum temperature within a minute which is really good if you want to put the heating on in winter, the engine is ready to go in no time.
Holy shit. Who would have known the button that is labeled as the function you want to change will change the function you want to change. Really ground breaking content, you're doing gods work.
GROUND BREAKING OMG THANKS. Useless video

For me auto start stop is not useless...I like the silence when waiting for greenlight...don't know what is the fuel saving, but living in a big city and being caught in trafic jams is something regular I can see the benefit. Anyhow that is why there is the option to turn it off...for some it's nice for others they can turn it off so useless debate.
Lol agreed
Yeah useless debate coz u have no idea and 0 car knowledge good luck with your start stop on a long run with diffrent engine:)
@@2kubal I have a 320d BMW from 2013 with 220k km I bought it with 50k km...I still use auto start stop...never had any provlems.
If you have enozgh money to buy Range Rover, you do not care about fuel consumption
My dad use to say that all the time Growing up 😂🤣
My ram with the Hemi Etorque has a very seamless start/stop that you don’t even notice. The etorque will get the truck moving before the engine even start when leaving stoplights.
@caleb jerst cope
As a woman, I can confirm we love guys that drive rams the most
@caleb jerst sounds like closeted gay vibes for the Ram driver. You must drive a Ford or Chev.
prolly so seamsless cause the truck weighs so much
@caleb jerst lol what makes it gay?
I don’t know why this guy saying auto start stop an useless feature but for me it’s a much satisfying feature. First of all it saves lot of fuel when you wait at red lights and especially in traffics. Another thing the silence once the engine shuts off. I love that. Very useful feature.
The silence thing really only applies to diesel cars. Most modern petrol cars I've driven I can't even tell the engine is on.
It may be annoying, but the purpose of auto start/stop is to reduce unnecessary engine idling emissions.
Yeah and replace your starter every 5 years.
@@WorivpuqloDMogh i mean if you have money to buy 100k car you have money to buy new starter after 5years and 75% of people will change car after 2-3 years

@@Pittaz not in your case lol
Lease then 🤯
Ill tell you one thing, Auto stop/start was not useless in my Gti. I experimented alot with it and it did save alot on Mpg. Idk about other cars but in a Gti it really does work
It works in any car, when your engine idles you're just wasting gas to keep the engine spinning. When the engine is warm, the stress on the starter is also very minimal.
A useless feature? My 3 minute stoplight waits would beg to differ lmao
Wear isn't a problem either, an engine doesn't experience any wear at all from starting, it's a common misconception. The problem is running the engine while it's very cold, and the start/stop will turn the engine back on before it cools off. From a wear perspective, starting an engine while hot is no different from revving it a bit. Start/stop does, however, reduce the total runtime of the engine, which does prevent wear, as every revolution of the engine induces wear.
And if you're concerned about the starter motor; it's literally designed for this. The only problem is that you have to use a high-quality battery, which is a bit more expensive.
Some cars even have a system where it doesn’t use the starter motor to restart it. It’s mad how many people listen to others saying it’s bad for the engine lmao
A starter motor is the same for cars with and without start stop. The starter motor will have to endure more starts in a shorter amount of time therefore it had more wear over a shorter period of time. This will result in a startermotor needing replacement sooner, that beeing said, that's most likely something the next owner will have to replace since most people ditch cars before they need bit maintaining.
@@deamonchild666 That's because it's cheaper to use start-stop starter motors on all cars than stock both types. Just serves as a bonus improvement to cold start performance.
It's a dumb idea.
@@gwiondavies4909 wait, so what do they use?
It can make around 14-21% fuel savings, really depends on how good the system is on that particular car, some systems are better than others.
Just because some people don't like them, car manufacturers will never get rid of them, it helps their fuel economy numbers.
No. It’s 4 to 8.3% in savings depending on engine size and driving conditions. Let’s not blow things out of proportion 🤣
@@DrivenHard it's been proven.. a program in the UK tested a Renault Megane (2014) with 1 litre of fuel (a quarter of a US gallon) with start-stop switched on and switched off. They saved around 14% of fuel with it on. They save more fuel in Inline and V-shaped 6 cylinder engines, 2.0 inline 4's and 3 cylinders. They don't really do a lot for V8's in cars that *don't need* V8's.
@@aidan1585 that's not a Renault
@@robbarber7253 yeah i know, I'm using it as an example.. it's proof that it works and it isn't some useless marketing bullshit
@@aidan1585 It's a completely different design though it's not completely useless but on many vehicles the cost outweighs the benefit
Surprisingly I quite like auto start stop, it’s handy when I’m just sitting at a light forever and if I ever NEED to be running I shift to sport and it disables auto start/stop, put it back in drive and it’s normal again (FYI for anyone worrying about wear, auto start/stop cars are usually built for it with a stronger starter and a good enough battery, can’t say for every car but most)
Exactly bro instead of putting it into sport I just put it into Manuel then back into drive on mine and it turns it back on
Don't forget about your tongue converter being locked it tends to burn them up
In pretty much any BMW made in the last 20 years you can remove start/stop completely with some very simple coding
All cars are like that when you fiddle with coding
Problem is that Auto Start Stop is mandatory for euro 6 exhaust standard. If you code it out in Germany you basically lose your permission to operate the vehicle.
Nah. In my 435i the start/ stop is a physical button but it remembers your choice regardless of if you turn the car off and back on again.
My parents ml350 (2015) has a button for it
@@northmanscall really? That's quite strict. I would think it'd only be so the manufacturer can legally sell it. After that you can't do whatever you want?
I honestly don’t mind it.. especially with the “Auto Hold” break setting on. Those two settings in conjunction are amazing, especially at a red light
I hate auto hold in our automatic. It always jumps forward if you hit the accelerator even slightly to move.
In my manual however I love it, since it makes getting started on a hill very easy and I can relax my feet (it has no cruise control, so that is very nice after having to pump the accelerator for a half an hour straight).
"Useless feature"
Let's multiply the amount of fuel saved by the number of cars that use this feature. Massive consequences.
Fuel saved? Perhaps, your engine? Nope.
@@TimberWulfIsHere start stop has very little effect on engine wear as it only kicks in once your engine is fully lubricated and sufficiently warm. Speaking as a 150k Audi owner with 0 oil consumption using auto stop start since day 1.
@@jeevanjacob4102 so you have opened up your engine to check once every few years? Wear and tear occurs during startup most of the time. If you live in the city, you would be stopping and starting multiple times, well before your engine oil is at operating temperature.
Life time starts ups is about 50,000 over the course of a en engine. That jumped to 500,000 with start stop. I can’t remember the exact figures but it was roughly that type of difference
@@TimberWulfIsHere some people will never realize they're wrong. Like what would you stand to gain by telling people the truth about how this "feature" wears their engine out? I know the company sure needs to sell them another one asap, what better way to do it then tell them how convenient starting their engine every 10 minutes is.
Try put the gearbox in sportmode. In my Volvo the auto start/stop won’t work when I use sportmode with the gear-lever.
How did i live my life before watching this.....wow just wow.
Idk why people have such a big problem with auto start stop.
Yes it does save fuel (y’all saying it doesn’t, what do you think makes the car engine run when you’re stationary? Drunk gasoline fairies?). I’d love to have it in my car since I get a lot of start stop traffic jams and I believe it’d save me quite a bit of fuel.
You can say you don’t like the feature personally, which is ok. But don’t come saying it’s useless.
Just clearing something up. As a mechanic i can tell you that a startermotor for a rangerover is NOT cheap, and it takes a toll on the startermotor to be working all the time.
Don't you love it when people think that a starter will just last forever. Cause yeah, that's what we all want, a starter to go out or start going out and suddenly you are broken down in the middle of the road
If you can't afford to replace the starter you can't afford a range rover.
@@martyk1156 even if I could afford a range Rover, I would never buy one. For the price of one, I could get 3-4, cars I actually want, rebuild them, and still have money left over. A range Rover is nothing but a status symbol
@@deadpanda12109 or just wait for a couple years for it to depreciate and you get it really cheap. But I agree, they’re just a status symbol.
@@deadpanda12109 you could easily say the same about anything. For the price of a rolex i could buy 10 watches and have money left over. For the price of nikes i could buy 10 pairs of Asics. For the price of a tempurpedic you could buy 4 spring mattresses.
And by the end of it all, you will be driving a shitbox with a shit watch and shit shoes sleeping in a shit bed. Congrats you made it
Stop/start is a very good feature. It adds a bit of wear to a starter motor but they regularly last 150k plus.
When I commute by bike I enjoy having cars not belching out crap when they are stopped at the lights. Took a little getting used to when driving my own car with auto stop/start but it's really not difficult (having to disable it on the menu like that every time you start up seems like more of a pain tbh).
From a bikers perspective that’s a very interesting point of view. Thanks for that
@@DrivenHard yeah, but who cares about bikers??? Ahahahah
Yo no one cares about a bikers thoughts. Use the sidewalk

@@liamot no but at least you guys would be off the streets and out of our way.
I get my chauffeur to turn it off in most of my vehicles. Apart from the Aston Martin DB5 which we run on a rather spiffing Chateau Neuf du Pape for environmental reasons.
“Never drive in this drive mode” *proceeds to talk about auto start/stop 🤡
I have 17 focus rs with the same feature. So I had the Ecu reprogrammed, more power and no auto shutoff
Libernois out of Dearborn did me. I'm scraping the open deck. New internals,, Strattified port Injection (separate controller) , better turbo,intercooler,blowoff,, catchcan,,,525 fpt.
Driving a hybrid, I absolutely love this. Fuel economy boost up at roundabouts and traffic lights.
The stop/start function disagrees with my driving technique. When I learned to drive you were meant to set the park brake / hand brake every time. One of the reasons for doing this is to prevent hot brake pads from clamping the discs for an extended period of time and so warping them.
Except, that the Handbrake still uses the very same Brakepads, but only on the rear axle as the footbrake.
The P position of the gearbox is a different thing however, that most often uses a locking lug inside the gearbox.
Why is it a useless feature, saves fuel and works seamlessly in my car
Do you know how Long the car needs to be stopped to have a measurable amount of fuel savings?! Longer then most red lights. And the wear and tear on the system it causes it horrible long term
@@DrivenHard Wrong. People like you always think Auto start stop fuel savings are negligible but fuel used while idling adds up quickly and it’s been proven multiple times that it can save some fuel. Also, start stop technology has come a long way, in new cars, the starters are designed for the system and won’t run until the engine is properly lubricated and warm, wear and tear is not a problem.
Nope. It’s pure marketing for fuel saving features. Engine temp has nothing to do due with the wear and tear issues 😂
@@DrivenHard It’s not marketing cause it has saved me fuel and has been shown to do the same for many others. And what do you mean engine temp has nothing to do with wear and tear, and you saying cold starts are nice and healthy for your engine? Hint, they’re not. Stop start systems don’t cause wear and tear, they also do save fuel, maybe not a whole lot, but they do. We’re not stuck in 1983 when the first start stop system came out, it’s almost 2022.
engine temp in reference to that start stop system not overall. I’m sure it’s saved you a ton good for you! Keep it on then
My msport makes a big difference when keeping it on, sat in traffic some mornings saving fuel adds up over the course of the month. If you are going to label it useless please explain why!
You know what I hate about my Yacht? It's too fast and too spacious. I sometimes wish I wasn't so rich.
I’m surprised anybody is still complaining about this, most people got used to it a few years ago and just left it at that. Enjoy the saved gas and the quiet. Warm starts hardly affect the engine and they’re easy on the starter. Cold starts are very hard yes, but ASS doesn’t kick in until warm.
And for anyone saying that the one second difference in 0-60 time makes a life or death difference - that’s likely an indicator that your driving habits are bad, not the car’s engineering. Just let your foot off the brake slightly if you need the engine back while sitting still.
Keeping the clutch spinning in an automatic vehicle when you’re stuck in traffic, this will add an extra 10,000+ miles a year wear on the clutch, so keeping the stop, start active will save you spending money for unnecessary repairs. 🤷🏼💂♂️🇬🇧
Clutches should be disengaged when car is at stop. Or your engine would stall. Or am I wrong? I thought this was the purpose of the torque converter, to allow the wheels to be stopped but keep engine spinning without lugging or stalling.
@@SLAutoRepair this guy has no idea what he's taking about. If it was true all automatic cars would have this problem. Start stop causes a ton of engine wear and anyone that uses it is stupid tbh.
clutch - automatic ≠
@@SaveAmericanValues why am I stupid for saving fuel. If it causes engine wear then vw will just be spending more to fix it. I’ll be getting rid of the car before warranty ends.
-Hey, I cant talk, i'm drive my Range Rover 2022.
-OK, but...You call me?
-Bye!
Not sure what most people have an issue with regarding this but in my friends 2021 Mercedes CLA not only does your car go nice and quiet if the idling reaches past one minute and not only is it good for saving gas but you can hit the Accelerator and continue driving with no disturbance it’s as if the car never even turned off
Totally agree. It's obviously going to save fuel if your doing a lot of stop-start in traffic where you're waiting in a stopped state, but my VW had a tendancy to power down at junctions and roundabouts. Last thing you want in a situation where you need to get into a traffic stream is a stopped motor. Bloody painful. Absolutely need an easy way to switch this 'feature' off.
I think it’s about using it in balance. I have the same car and I don’t use the stop start all the time, but i dotn not ever use it either. For city driving I’ll keep it off cause a stop light isn’t that long but if I’m in a drive thru or waiting in a line somewhere, I’ll use the stop start feature.
It’s a pet peeve of mine when people turn auto start/stop off. It makes sense to turn the engine off when you stop and it doesn’t effect anything from the driver’s perspective. People who disagree with me, why do you not like it?
My ONLY Issue is the parameters that’s force it to turn on. A 3 second stop is too dangerous imo. Kicking in after 6 or 7 seconds perfect.
Kinda the same idea as not coasting to a stop in neutral. The delay of the start stop could prevent you from evading an accident. Kind of a far fetched example but some people want to be in full control of their vehicle
So someone may have already said these things.. but 1. The start/stop feature is partly to help cut back on emissions, but it's mainly for fuel savings. As a child I was always told to leave the car running when we'd stop somewhere because you used more gas stopping and restarting it. That was true in carburated engines. In modern fuel injected engines the rule of thumb is that if you're going to be stopped for 10 seconds or more, it's more fuel efficient to cut the engine off and restart it. And 2. Start/stop systems do not wear out your vehicles starter. The main starter is not used to restart the vehicle with this feature. There is a small electric motor that restarts the vehicle while this feature is active. The only time the starter is used to start the vehicle is after a full shut off.
Correct. Except for the starter which starts the engine. I’ve had them fail. It’s one starter that does it. Might change with manufacturers but JLR is using one starter.
@@DrivenHard then it must change with manufacturers because every modern system I've heard of uses electric motors. The brake pedal is wired into it and it activates at a certain pedal depression point. This knowledge is coming from master ASE certified mechanics.
For some it's annoying, but I actively prefer start/stop. It work surprisingly well with a stick shift; come to a light in neutral with the clutch out, and it kills the motor. (If your foot's on the clutch, it'll keep the engine running, so you can get moving like normal). I put it in 1st with the engine off so the car is held at the light without using the brake. Then, once I have to move, clutch in and the motor fires right up.
Why would you think auto start/stop is useless?? It saves fuel and is good for the environment
Evidence?
@@johnh8705 why do you need evidence for this?? Just think about it. You are standing at a light for a longer time so it makes sense to turn off the engine while standing instead of keeping it running in order to save fuel and reduce the emissions
My dads expedition has auto start stop and it’s really annoying and noticeable especially when I’m trying to sleep
Auto stop start is one of the worst features on a car. It adds unnecessary wear to the timing belt as when the car starts up, that’s when the timing belt is at its highest load. It doesn’t really save you that much fuel so all you’re doing is just adding wear to your engine. Some manufacturers actually have an automatic deactivation of auto stop start over a certain clocked mileage as they even know themselves that it adds excessive wear to the engine.
So auto start stop, which saves fuel is a useless feature, but letting your engine idle while stopped is very useful.
Did I get that right?
There is usually an owners manual in the glove box.
The best thing to come from auto stop start is the engines are now over built with like forged internals and super strong bearings
Also if u have auto stop start thing on it decreases life of ur engine
Pretty good tip. Here is a better one: buy a Seat Ateca. It costs about a third, has better handling, phisical buttons for both start-stop and driver modes AND stores your settings so you don't have to mess with it everytime you want to drive.
A Seat? 🤦🏾♂️
There is probably a custom action button on your steering wheel. Basically you can make that button do whatever you want.
Nope. Not anything
Why is it useless? It's there for emissions . What's your alternative to control emissions?
Start stop is amazing
I know that Audi A3s have start stop automatically on, the aircon stays on and it cools down the engine while stopped at a light.
Start/stop is the best feature it existed. Never waste gas while idling on a red light or train crossing
Most vehicles can have that permanently disabled by plugging a tow adapter in your vehicle to make it think your towing. If your towing something most vehicles won’t allow it to turn off engines at lights due to how much power is needed to tow. Other option is in ford and chevy all you due is unplug one cord and it’s gone for good, not sure for range rover. Might check into it
He says the auto start stop is a useless feature but it’s not useless for the car companies. It’s great for car companies because it wears the engine down and you come back sooner to buy a new one
In the previous gen it was a physical button, not sure if it helped my supercharged save gas but it’s not THAT annoying
Start stop is a thing because it's illegal in the UK to have your car idling on a public road.
It's all to do with emissions.
Imagine driving a car from point a to point b without changing modes.
I feel like I’m stuck in the past because my car doesn’t have all these fancy high tech features. It doesn’t even have a touch screen or Bluetooth so this video make me feel like I’m looking at a futuristic car.
I used to love the auto start stop in my moms acura until I was yielding at a roundabout and about to take off and there was a car coming but it was far enough where I had time. It took what felt like an eternity for the car to start back up and by the time I did, I had to slam on the brakes to not jump in front of a car.
Slam on the brakes? From a complete stop? Or did you have some second engine that got you moving before the car's engine started?
@@specialopsdave Had to slam on the brakes after the car started moving too late.
@@bmwman1029 I'm going to be honest, that's easily avoidable by releasing the throttle a bit earlier when you know it won't make it, at which point the engine should not apply power since it was still starting when you released the throttle. I have driven a hybrid that has done that to me once or twice, and just giving extra room is all you need. Unless you drive in NYC or LA. Then you absolutely have to disable start/stop, those drivers can be lunatics sometimes.
Infiniti Q50 has a physical button too. It's funny. We don't bother with it when we start the car but the moment we reach a red light and the engine shuts off, we hit the button.
There's Apparently a setting to permanently stop it but I don't know where it is.
Auto stop/start is a very hit or miss system, some brands do it well and some don't. My 2020 Ford Fusion has it, it just doesn't start the car fast enough. Too much lag, though it does truly help with the fuel efficiency on my car.
This is a feature most of the people in UK, Europe etc will be forced to leave on because we're having to deal with petrol prices that are ridiculous compared to America. £1.40 per litre where I am last I looked (that's equivalent of $7.61 per gallon for you)
When we are talking about that difference 4% or whatever is actually a reasonable saving and I could be more if your morning commute has you sat in deadlock traffic.
Thanks for the information though.
That seems a little bit convoluted. My sister's Buick Verano has start stop, but you're able to disable it on the fly.
When you come to a stop and it shuts off, let off the break and brake again. Simply a tap tap with the brake.
Doesnt shut off again until you actually hit the gas to drive and break to stop again.
The worst part is in Canada the start stop doesn't turn off so you are constantly starting and stopping with a cold engine causing massive wear to the engine
Well it’s only suppose to work when then engine is at an ideal temp. Otherwise it stays off and won’t start stop
Apparently not in ford connect transit vans we use at work they start stop no matter the temperature
Only reason I turned my off in my old car was because it sometimes stalled the engine when i put clutch down to start the engine back up and after didn't turn back on at the first click of the start switch. Let's just say I had some flashing and beeps. And now with my new car the battery clearly has an issue where it makes inop so I just want one that works
So everyone debates about this being bad for the starter. But they're finding out that its actually causing timing chains to "stretch" (wear out faster) because the inertia to get going from 0rpm is more stress than just keeping it idling.
I hate the car trends that goes huge infotainment touch screen.
Touch screen does not provide feedback and requires more visual attention to operate.
Physical buttons uses your sense of touch for operation. It is actually pretty clever. You can multitask mire easily if you get to use your multiple sensory organs.
Don't pay for anti features!
This is why i hate the internet. Completely reasonable and innocent video, scroll for about 5 seconds in the comments to see nothing but hate and negativity. Be careful what you’re projecting people. A lot of these comments say much more about YOU than it does about him.
🙌
The most annoying thing about auto start stop is that when I come from the highway my turbo is slowly spooling down. But when the engine start stops kicks in the turbo doesn’t get the amount of oil it needs. It does work good however as my luck has it when the engine stops I can start driving again 90% of the time. So much for saved fuel then that’s why I also turn it off.
I loved, when I got my Lincoln, how they set up their range. Multiple engine options for a pleasurable drive(w/DCT) and no PASS/*SS. For those that should have bought a Ford, multiple milder engines with a CVT and PASS/*SS. People got serious financial problems if they are majorly concerned about MPG in luxury cars, and need to rethink their decisions.
Bingo! I hate the auto start stop in my wifes corsair.
I coded my auto-start/stop to remember what I've chosen the previous time I started. Haven't turned it on in a long time.
I always have it on, zero issues as yet and done 50k miles in it. For reference I have a 1.5L TDCI Ford C-Max. I think the argument is pretty pointless as it always comes down to personal preference. I have talked to other drivers and it also highly depends on whether your car is petrol or diesel... It seems to make a difference with diesel and seems useless with petrol.
Depends on the size of the Diesel engine though. My dually would run terribly with one but something like a little 2.4L would probably be fine with one
I only use auto stop start if I’m in the city at rush hour or stop and go traffic, otherwise I typically drive without it, but if you know anything about Boston traffic you know that sometimes you aren’t moving anywhere, no point in wasting gas in that case.
I would recommend you to map it out. So that auto stop will always be off. Any remap guy can do that to you
I have a bmw it has the physical button. Thankfully it remembers its setting and stays off. Sport mode also deactivates it.
In my opinion, puts unnecessary strain on the starting/charging system, and it’s a bit off putting when your engine just cuts off randomly on you. And particularly bmw has a loud startup even if it’s warm momentarily and my car has a test pipe on it most of the time, so it’s annoyingly loud.
Auto start is actually a really handy feature for about town driving.
So basically all you showed us is that you weren’t familiar with your vehicle.. lol amazing video
Or unplug the voltage sensor for the auto start/stop from the negative battery terminal if it's designed that way.
Auto start stop is great. Really saves that whole 1/1000 of a gallon per tank full. Plus all the extra wear and tear on my car makes sure I have to buy a new vehicle.
It doesn’t add wear and tear lol. Your engine is already up to temp. The wear is at cold start.
@@alexmason5521 actually it does as the oil is not flowing through the engine.
@@SterlingSigurdsen temperature change is what wears on an engine. If the engine is off it doesn’t need oil running through it. And unless something is really wrong with your car oil pressure will immediately return when it’s started again
@@alexmason5521 and are you a mechanic? I doubt it. The oil is not at the top of the motor upon restarting. It’s this first second or two that the oil has to reach again. Plus it’s unnecessary stress on the starter even though yea they’re built better, but they’ll wear out quicker. Also the pulling on the chains and belts wears out quicker due to this. The minimal saving in fuel is not worth the risk of damaging other components.
I head you can put a trailer light tester in so it thinks it has a trailer and will not do that. My ford is like that... hate it too
Thanks for letting all us 1 percenters how to change this setting on our $100k+ range rovers
You can get them used for like 30k. Don’t need to be loaded
Auto Start / Stop is a great feature. Saves money.
Not useless at all.
Wait, the one thing you absolutely can't stand in your RR Sport is that you can configure the screen to show the start/stop button?
Yeah I'll try that on my Jaguar tomorrow Thanks!
Kowal I drive a 82 Corolla
Auto start stop is ridiculous and hard on the car, but so is long periods of idle, and stopping and going at lights and signs
Probably a OK feature in a automatic but darn it makes me angry in a manual.
Don’t forget about turning off traction control when your in the snow! Especially if you need to go up a hill covered in snow. Also turn it off when in muddy conditions.
Traction control is great for dry roads and rainy conditions, other then that it’s useless
It definitely can interfere in certain situations when you need slip
@@DrivenHard and in the newer vehicles it can limit your rpm in a situation when you need it the most. I disable mine on winter days so if I get into a situation I don’t have to take my eyes off the road to disable it.
Also if you have one spinning rear wheel you can temporarily trick your wheels to both spin by slightly putting on your emergency break if you have a pull style emergency break. I call it a
Break locker.
This is satire, right? TC is useful on all surfaces as long as you have some momentum. You only turn it off when you can't accelerate from a stop, because that's where TC will actually refuse to give you power. If you have at least 10mph, it will work flawlessly (and if it doesn't, then the hill is so slippery that it may be impossible to even stop if you were to spin wheels without TC)
And if you're the exception for some reason, you just got bad luck, and got one of those late-90s to late-2000s cars that have overzealous traction control. Most cars are better.
@@specialopsdave It’s not Satire.
All the new and old vehicles that don’t have a winter driving mode I automatically turn off traction control.
When you need TC off is when you really need to not have to worry about why your not moving forward.
The best is when your going up a snowy road only to find rear wheel drive vehicles littering the road that you now have to drive around while avoiding traffic coming down the hill just to get to work. I deal with this every year especially the last hill before getting to the highway while going to work.
What really gets me is the fact that people don’t have good vehicles for winter driving when they live in a winter area.
My favorite truck is my 2000 Toyota 4Runner SR5 that doesn’t have traction control. All my other vehicles that I have had over the years up till now I have had to disable traction control because when one wheel slips the computer decides to throttle the engine power which in turn slows the vehicle down when you need it to speed up to get up the hill in snow.
And as a tip... if you have a 4x4 with no rear locker you can pull your e-break just a little so you can stop one wheel peel from happening.
Usually just one or 2 clicks on your e-break but don’t forget to take it off after you get to the top.
@@frankdelucey2137 Actually, I wasn't even thinking of RWD cars, my bad 😅 I forget they're totally different from the FWD and AWD cars I drive in winter, the only RWD vehicle I own is a '97 Dodge pickup that has magically avoided frame rust entirely so far, so I don't want to tempt fate and drive it in winter. Besides, it doesn't even have TC anyways, so I would never notice
If you are stopping for more than 10 seconds you save fuel shutting off the engine so it really is a useful feature if you've just caught a red light or stuck in a very slow moving traffic jam
If it kicked in AFTER a 7 second stop that would be sick!
The start stop's main purpose is to reduce emissions from a stand still traffic.
Range Rovers has the perfect screen layout, other manufacturers struggle to either make it fancy or tech, Range Rover got them both perfectly
It saves fuel consumption but in turn will wear your battery more and vehicles get worn off when turning on and off constantly. There’s people who have hit easily over 500k miles because they drive and go long distances instead of turning off and on.
There's just a plug you can pull under the dash of the Ford f150 so you don't even have to press the button every time.
It helps save on fuel, an excellent feature especially with the cost of fuel these days.
I only ever use the start/stop occasionally, when the light goes red in front of me. I find my car 4-cyl 1.4L very economical, even when running. 48 mpg combined long-term driving cycle.
Don't turn it of permanently, it'll actually save on repairs later as the egr valve won't clog anywhere near as soon. It will save fuel also as the ports are much more clear than if you don't use it, increasing flow rates and efficiency of the motor.
The pre 2018 Range Rover sports have is where the retain control is so it’s a physical button
Nearly sure if you bring it to the garage they can code it into the car to be off when the car starts instead of on.
The main reason to not use it, is because it puts strain on the starter. Rather than just once or twice a trip. It's at every red-light that's more than 3 sec.
