What is Auto Stop-Start? The Auto Stop-Start or Engine Stop-Start (ESS) or Idle Stop & Go (ISG) vehicle feature is designed by auto manufacturers as an attempt to improve fuel economy while a vehicle is at rest. How this feature works is by when the brake is applied and the vehicle is stopped, the engine temporarily turns off and automatically restarts as the brake is released. Unfortunately, real-world fuel savings are minimal and this functionality is forced upon consumers without an option to permanently disable auto start-stop.

Installation Guide for the Engine Start-Stop Override Module

Preparation:

1. Ensure your vehicle is turned off and the key is removed from the ignition.
2. Gather the Engine Start-Stop Override Module and the provided removal tool.
3. Familiarize yourself with the location of the “AUTO OFF” button in your vehicle.

Step-by-Step Installation:

1. Accessing the Panel:

• Locate the panel that houses the “AUTO OFF” button.
• Using the provided removal tool, gently pry around the edges of the panel to unclip it. Be careful not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the clips or the panel itself.

2. Disconnecting the Factory Socket:

• Behind the panel, you’ll find a socket connected to the “AUTO OFF” button. This is the factory socket.
• Carefully disconnect the factory socket from the button. Ensure you pull on the plug, not the wires, to avoid any damage.

3. Connecting the Override Module:

• Take the Engine Start-Stop Override Module and locate its two connectors: one male and one female.
• Connect the male connector of the module to the “AUTO OFF” button where you just disconnected the factory socket.
• Now, connect the factory socket you disconnected earlier to the female connector of the module.

4. Securing the Module:

• Find a suitable location near the panel to secure the module. Ensure it doesn’t obstruct any other components or wires.
• You can use zip ties or double-sided tape (not provided) to keep the module in place.

5. Replacing the Panel:

• Once the module is securely in place, align the panel back to its original position.
• Gently press around the edges until it clips back into place.

6. Testing the Installation:

• Insert the key into the ignition and start the vehicle.
• Press the brake pedal and wait for 3-6 seconds without pressing any other button.
• Observe the “AUTO OFF” button light. If it turns red, it indicates that the default setting is active, and the module has been installed correctly.

7. Finalizing the Settings:

• The default setting ensures that the auto start-stop feature remains off unless manually activated.
• If you wish to activate the auto start-stop feature, simply press the “AUTO OFF” button on your car.

Troubleshooting:

• If the “AUTO OFF” button light doesn’t turn red, ensure all connections are secure and try the testing step again.
• If you face any issues or the module doesn’t seem to work, contact the manufacturer or seller for support.
