My company leases cars for us to drive the heck out of. Good news: I get to order a new work car. Bad news: I live in my car during the week and I'm freaked out that this start stop technology is going to annoy the crap out of me in traffic. The car is a 2018 GMC Terrain SLT 1.5 turbo. I might have found one to test drive, but the answers from GMA dealers and online at their HQ are all over the place as to if I can temporarily or permanantly disable the feature. Do any of you guys habe experience with this feature?

I really don't like the feature and the delay of the restart. Our BMW's we disable it via the button as mentioned. In Europe, and some US rental cars, couldn't figure out if there was a button, but two tricks I have found works on every car I've driven so far, is to tweak the steering wheel (just give it a pull down either direction). This "calls" for power steering, and restarts the car. The cars seem to stay running after that. No idea if this will work with newer electronic power steering...
As also mentioned, A quick lift off the brake just after shut down also refires the car, and generally it will stay running. |
