The start-stop system, standard on many Renault models, was intended to be an environmentally friendly and cost-effective innovation. It was designed to reduce emissions and fuel consumption by shutting off the engine when the vehicle is stationary. It sounds reasonable – but only on paper. In practice, many drivers consider it ineffective. one of the most annoying systemsthat found their way into modern cars.

Many Renault drivers admit that this is a feature they would like to turn it off permanently, if only it were possible.

How do I temporarily disable the start-stop system?

Most Renault models are equipped with a physical button that allows temporary deactivating the start-stop system. This is usually located on the center console or near the steering wheel and is marked with the letter "A" surrounded by an arrow.

Unfortunately, every time it is turned off it works only until the engine is restartedAfter turning the car off and on again, the system reactivates. This means that if you are irritated by its operation, you must remember to turn it off every timewhen you get in the car. In everyday use, it's tiring and easy to miss.
