To enable the idle stop feature, ensure your vehicle is in park, then press the idle stop button located on the center console. A light indicator will confirm activation.
The idle stop feature may not activate if the engine is not warmed up, the outside temperature is too extreme, the battery charge is low, or if the cabin climate control settings require the engine to run.
The idle stop feature cannot be permanently disabled, but it can be turned off for each drive cycle by pressing the idle stop button on the center console.
Regular maintenance includes checking the battery health and ensuring the start/stop system components are functioning properly during routine service visits.
The idle stop feature helps improve fuel efficiency by shutting off the engine during prolonged idling, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
The idle stop feature is available in most driving modes, but its operation may vary based on the selected mode and driving conditions.
When the idle stop system is active, an indicator light will appear on the dashboard, and the engine will shut off when the vehicle is stopped under suitable conditions.
Common issues include the feature not activating due to low battery charge or unsuitable conditions. Ensure the battery is healthy and the vehicle is operating within the proper environmental parameters.
The starter motor in the Acura TLX is designed to handle frequent restarts, but it's important to maintain regular vehicle service to ensure all components remain in good condition.
The idle stop feature may remain inactive if the climate control system requires the engine to run to maintain the cabin temperature, especially in extreme hot or cold conditions.
