Trying to disable the auto Stop and Start feature. It stops the engine when the car is at stop lights, intersections and etc. This feature supposedly help improve fuel economy and reduce noise pollution caused by the engine idling. It however, just doesn't feel smooth enough during the transition. It often causes jerking movements and is kind of annoying.
The instructions for disabling Stop & Start is on page 305 of the => User Manual <= You basically find that "A OFF" cancel switch under the AC knob. Press the Stop & Start cancel switch to disable the Stop & Start system. The Stop & Start cancel indicator will illuminate. Pressing the switch again will enable the Stop & Start system and the Stop & Start cancel indicator will turn off.
What the "A OFF" actually looks like on the dashboard:
However I don't think it is permanent. Every time I restart the engine the auto Stop & Start comes back again. It doesn't seem to have the option to switch off Stop & Start feature for good. I will do more digging on this and provide updates later.
