Pull Starter 2025 Picanto GT-S

[Cincoon]

My vehicle was purchased in June of 2025. The energy save feature activates maybe once or twice a month. If not, the power button remains amber at all times. During the week, I travel 30 miles one way. Extended trips, during vacations and weekends.

The technicians at the dealership, with whom I've spoken three times now, have informed me that "it has to meet certain conditions in order to engage." Over the years, I've logged countless miles behind the wheel, both long and short, on highways and A/B roads. No pattern has been apparent to me. It is uninvolved.


How can I fix this?

A lot of factors affect the stop-start function, and one of them is the battery charge status. short trips, air conditioning, road type, lighting. style of driving, among many others. It is common for the stop-start feature to not function, presuming your vehicle is a moderate hybrid. The stop-start feature included in mild hybrids has been the subject of numerous forum posts.

Do not expect a gentle hybrid. Yes, I did look. I have also mentioned three times that the 12v battery discharge message appears almost every time I turn it on. In other words, "it's one of those things" again. I am prepared to trade it in right now.

I hope your new car is a joy to drive.

I wouldn't stress over it. As soon as I start the engine, I switch mine off. I have never understood its purpose.
