Hi /o/

Just bought a 2017 Chevy Malibu for the wife (don't ask, its her favorite car, for some crazy reason, I blame the "Real People" commercials buts neither here nor there). Anyway the auto Stop/Start feature really annoys me. I cant find any solid info about disabling it. Do you guys know anything about disabling it? Does it really not damage the engine to stall it every few minutes of driving in the city?

The question isn't if you like it, it's if your wife's kids like it.
>>
>>17764627
Her boyfriend spends most of the time driving it anyway.

Nope. But I did Falcon Punch the little chads out of her womb before the wedding just to be sure there was no mix bloods in there. Its a tradition of my village.

I didn't have the lobes to ask them to delete it and refund me. The Grand Nagus must never find out.

Put it in low and use the plus button to select the highest gear. It will still drive normally but won't shut off at stops. Source: Chevrolet Dealer

I have the 2016 Malibu. The trick is to not stomp the brake pedal all the way down. As you coast up to a stop in freeway stop and go traffic, you press the brake pedal only enough to make the car stop. The engine stays on.

>Does it really not damage the engine to stall it every few minutes of driving in the city?
The technology comes from Europe where there is a lot of stop/start engine use. Supposedly the computer knows where to stop the engine to position the pistons that will be fired next so the next amount of starter cranking is reduced.

If you carefully notice, the amount of restart is pretty gentle compared to your other cars with no stop/start technology.

The 2016 Malibu Limited was the last N/A aspirated model. But as pointed out, you had to buy the 2017 full optioned model to be able to get rid of the start/stopping feature.

>Select the highest gear
What? It doesn't shift to the next gear if I am not at the speed. And it stays in 1st gear as long as the shifter is at "M" and I am not at the proper minimum speed for 2nd.
>>
>>17769404
Obviously fuckwit. When you select low it only allows you to select the highest allowable gear it doesn't shift it on demand.
>>
>>17769404
On one Engineering Explained show, the guy shifted through the various gears using the manual mode of that double clutched transmission. There's no secret hack to turn off the stop/start feature. That other poster may have implied it, but that's not the case.

Every Car that i drove with Start Stop had a button somewhere to disable it.
You have to deactivate every time after you start the Car though

Learn to drive without stopping, I see every application of the brake or full stop as a little failure in my driving.

Failure to anticipate.
