      You can thank your government for the fact you have to shut it off. To comply with CAFE standards and to maintain fleet standards it has to be on unless disabled by the driver. I am just glad that Toyota gives you the ability to disable it, some manufacturers do not give you that option.

    • @johnbecnel693
      @johnbecnel693 4 роки тому +8

      Steven Welch it is only to make the CAFE numbers look better. There is no way this helps with emissions. Maybe, maaaaaybe it would with a 5 minute delay but that would be useless too. This garbage came from the useless Obama admin. All they brought was more and more overburdensome government. Probably something else passed and then read later like the “affordable” care act. Starters aren’t built for this. Engines are definitely not built for this. This kills average running time. I just cannot imagine paying anything to buy something I have to remember to turn off. This makes cars disposable lease fleets.

    You can have the evil stop start technology permanently disabled. But you MUST do it as a condition of sale at the time you buy. The dealer can easily program this feature off. They do this for most government vehicles and police departments. If your dealer won't do it, go to another dealer. Engine Stop Start technology was developed for the SOLE purpose of improving the EPA, MPG number during their non-realistic test. In the real world it does virtually nothing to save fuel, but it DOES wear out your engine faster. Nothing is harder on a car engine than when you start it. There are several aftermarket kits that can defeat Engine Stop Start technology.

    To those who are interested, these start-stop systems are going to put more wear on your crank bearings and rod bearings, and that is not at all good for your engine. Not to mention the demand on your starter. I am not a fan. Works fine in a hybrid, but if I have an option, it is going off. Thet are pennywise and pound foolish.

    I worked on a car with stop start. Because of the issue I was trying to debug it had to sit and idle for a long time. It kept turning the engine off then back on every few minutes. I had to do work under the hood. Had my hands in there. The engine would suddenly start. Scared the heck out of me. I am just darn lucky I can still count to ten. I think stop-start should automatically be disabled if the hood is open.

    • @stevenwelchtoyota
      @stevenwelchtoyota  2 роки тому

      A toyota does not work that way unless it's a hybrid. If it is then you can trick the system to keep the engine running by demanding a load. Turn the AC on full it will draw enough energy to keep running usually. That being said the hybrids are not start stop mode they just shut off when the battery has a sufficient charge.

    Billion gallons of gas saved in drive thrus? There’s only like 200 million licensed drivers in the US. Factoring in prisoners, those who can’t afford cars ans suspended drivers as well as people like me who won’t eat that garbage, I’m calling BS on that inflated figure.

    Obnoxious feature. So, you may save gas but you're using up the life of the starter and battery. The environment gets in the end every time.

    • @stevenwelchtoyota
      @stevenwelchtoyota  3 роки тому

      The starters are designed to last longer due to that system and batteries tend to have the same amount of life either way

    No one wants this feature and they don’t tell you about it when you go to buy the vehicle. It kicks in after 500 miles. It is a deal breaker for considering a Toyota in the future.

      Unplug the harness to the hood latch. (wont work with remote start, car won't start) lift hood and find harness plug going to the latch, unplug it and tie it up. No more having to push the off button and no more staring at the stupid yellow light on the dash. Works on 2019-20 RAV.

    Save a billion gallons of fuel but repair costs to the engine and starter $10 billion. Never mind all the damaged parts going to the landfill. This system makes absolutely no sense! Makes more money for the auto industry for labour and parts. Steve, I have to tell you that this is a real dumb video.

      The system exists. The real reason for is the cafe standards that are not achievable without it. Knowing how to cut it off is important I believe so it is a great video on a system that most people dont want.
