hi I just bought a Volvo Xc60, the automatically start/engine off brothers me and I just want a normal car, I have to turn it off everytime I drive, how can I set it to off by default?

Thanks!

 

You might be able to in the My Car settings. I don't remember off-hand.

 

I didn't find it...that's why I'm here~

 

Just press the auto start button when you start the car. Its the a with a circle around it on the center stack. Thats the only thing I can think of off the top of my head that will turn it off.

 

Can we set it to off by default?

What's the good of having it?

 

The owner's manual says you can change the settings in the My Car settings. I don't know what settings can be changed. You could always take it to your salesman.

It saves gas by not idling. It's a big thing in Europe. Now they're bringing it here.

 

They can't automatically turn it off yet There's going to be an option though. For now, the only way to turn it off is to manually turn it off every time the car is first started.

 

will it possibly shorten the engine's life? since it's starting& stop much more frequently

 

Not at all

 

You don’t notice it most of the time. If the engine is cold it won't engage. You can restart by depressing the clutch or the gas . Remember to put it in neutral!
