At traffic lights or when my 2021 Haval H9 comes to a stop, the engine cuts out and an "A" in a green circle appears on the dash. When we go to take off, the car kicks back in and no problems. How do we turn this function off?
This automatic stop-start is an increasingly common feature on new cars and it's designed to save fuel by switching off the engine when you're, say, waiting at a red light. A lot of people find this function annoying and wish to turn it off permanently.
Depending on what version of the H9 you have, there should be a small switch down low on the centre console (near the hazard flasher switch) This will be marked with the same A-in-a-circle and, once you press it once, will disable the stop-start function. The catch is that you have to press this button every time you restart the car to disable the function.
But if you go into the Settings menu on the info-screen, you should also be able to find a listing for the stop-start function which, if you disable it this way, should keep it switched off.
