Know Your Toyota - Stop and Start Engine System

[@earnesttomjoseph]

This system take me to my nostalgic memory of learning to drive a manual transmission. The car stalls each time when i used to take off from a stop.😂 thank you for adding this feature in the newer cars

[@peterking2794]

Agreed. I had a 1960 Morris Minor that did exactly the same thing (Without restarting!) And thought I'd seen the last of that dreadful 'feature'.

[@DickDebonaire]

If that is indeed sarcasm, it's very well done. I despise this "feature"

[@TyroneNelson]

I been saving a lot of gas per week I had a 2018 Rav 4 and it use more than a half of tank per week, my highlander 2018 XLE v6 only use 1\4 a week and I driven it more I like it so far...

[@markskipper2199]

I can't believe people would actually like this!

[@kevin-qc7zv]

It's terrible! I test drove a car today with it, I'm so turned off by it. Smh

[@Network126]

I had a Ford Eco Sport once as a rental. The start/stop thing got a bit annoying. It also makes trying to inch your way into traffic very awkward. The power steering goes dead, and then you have to wait for the engine.

[@HEFBMS]

I can't believe people wouldn't actually like this!

[@96Duelfuel]

Needs an option to shut off and only activate when you chose it too...

[@jackuber7358]

Reputable and qualified mechanics will advise you to keep this feature off due to the added and mostly unnecessary wear and tear on the engine caused by frequent stops and starts of the the complex elements of today's internal combustion engines.

[@Crunkboy415]

I can little need for this in relatively flat regions, but cities like San Francisco, where there is a lot of stop and starting on hills, it's almost a necessity. Also the Bay Area has the worse commuter traffic in the nation, so these engines will help conserve gas in the long run.

[@gswdaniel]

This garbage only stays off for a few short minute/seconds even with the ac off. So it should have a way to permanently disabling... it’s annoying as hell

[@DaGhostQc]

How is there high mileage Prius/Camry taxis then? Toyota hybrid engines will turn off at a light or if you're driving slow enough in a parking if the battery pack doesn't need charging and will start back up if you accelerate hard enough... They've been around for a very long time now and it's not problematic for the engines. I'd love for you to explain the "complex elements of today's internal combustion engines"... What's complex about them? They have tighter tolerances, but they're similar to older engines minus variable valve timing.

[@sptrader6316]

The starter is getting many times it's "normal" use by this annoying system, it's only logical that it shortens starter life. I believe most mechanics agree, that engine starts, is where most engine wear comes from. Toyota needs to make the Default- system Off, so you can chose it if you wish, without being forced to turn it off, every time you start the car. Make it a menu choice.

[@grasshopper3085]

0:43 What model of Toyota is that?

[@Opticoolos]

I have a passo, 2015, system works only when fasten belts and sign mark a green light, ty for video

[@diegovides7401]

Honestly I hate this feature but it doesn't hurt the car engine or the starter it just hurts us because of the annoying jerk feeling that it feels. The only time engine wears out is in cold starts or long periods of no use .Once the engine is turned on from a cold start the oil lubricates the parts that need to be lubricated properly after a few seconds of turning it on. Therefore when it restarts on stop and go traffic or at a traffic light it won't wear out the engine. Cars that have this feature have a heavy duty starter that can withstand the multiple restarts they also tend to have bigger batteries to manage the extra load. At the end of the day is just personal preference. I personally hate it but I do use it bc I do see a difference in my fuel savings in city driving. On the highway on the other hand unless there is constant stop and go traffic you will rarely see any savings.

[@Rama_248]

Have you found a way to disable it?

[@Dansk55]

Damn even Toyota has this nonsense? Hopefully the starter is easy to replace

[@zero2sixty244]

Ok here’s the real answer. It’s harder on the engine but starter, alternator l, etc are “beefed” up to handle the added stress of constant engine restarts

[@Sci-Mon1]

No. The idiots who say that don’t know how it actually works.

[@BigSkidMedia]

These systems are saving drivers in heavily urban areas up to 10% of their total fuel. They're amazing.

[@sevnlight6313]

I don't care about that lame 10%.... I care about my starter going out. That's about $1200 dollars to change. Because Toyota decided it was "fun" to place the starter inside the intake.... You gotta push that deactivate button to deactivate everytime you get in to drive.

[@az.7484]

Will AC run ?

[@medicalmouniroypc5826]

It’s not good for regular 12v battery to hold high load unit unless you has the hybrid system to hold functional of car while engine is shutting off normally Not in acceleration and your high voltage battery’s SoC is adequate So it’s gonna have a mild hybrid system or another battery for holding when engine shut off separately form regular battery

[@Rama_248]

How do i disable it?

[@AumiJ]

So say I've stopped at a red light and I'm pressing down the brake pedal, the engine will turn off and turn back on when I release the brake pedal. What if I put the car in neutral and then take my foot off the brake pedal?

This can save gas a lot.

[@musicbeatz6201]

No. The starting time the engine goes at high rpm to start the engine. Which need a lot of gas rather than idle the engine

[@brianlapointe2764]

What is the cost of installing the system on an existing car? The benefits of reduced smog, and carbon tax, may be worth it.

[@seethingsclearlyawaken3424]

If I would've known my 2021 Rav4 had this feature before I bought it, I would bought another brand without it. I hate it. I always push the disable button, every time I drive my car. This is truly a stupid idea. So now we are subjecting our engines to no lubrication when the engine restarts, over and over again. Let alone the damage to the electric starter. I get 35 mpg on the highway without this stupid system working.

[@bastian166]

Hey, how tf do you turn this option off? It’s awful and I been driving only for a week lmao

[@melissaburton6169]

It's awful and I feel the same. I also hate to have to remember to turn it off every time I start my car. There should be a feature that should completely disable this function without having to press the button every time!

[@hendrix604]

No engine wear is happening. Not enough time between start and stops for the oil to break its film around critical engine components.

[@sherwinsison3526]

Hey Toyota how do you disable this system. It’s garbage

[@Rama_248]

Did you find out how to disable it?

[@sevnlight6313]

That's right, wear out that starter. It don't help the starter is placed in a very difficult location in the engine....

I see Flywheel,starter benix and starter motors needing replace.. The labor cost will be mind blowing.

[@Banditt42]

This is a feature I do NOT want Toyota. Along with your monthly fee for remote vehicle starts and other features that people pay for when they buy the car and then have to pay more every month to use.

[@Sci-Mon1]

Banditt you know you can disable it, right?

[@DaGhostQc]

You can disable stop/start AND you can install an aftermarket remote starter. You pay once and you're done. The newer ones even have cellphones tech so you can start it that way. The Fortin Evo (universal, not plug-in for a specific model) that was in my '14 Corolla was transferred in my '15 Prius after a reprogramming.

Toyota has moved to twin turbo charged V6 and employs MUCH thinner oil with less viscosity (Ow20). When the engine stops - oil will begin to drain back into the oil pan reducing the amount of already thin oil lubricating the EXTREMELY hot turbos (900 degrees) and rest of engine. Turbos already wear out much faster than any other engine component. Foolish to cause much more carbon creation just to save a few dollars on fuel. The cost of the carbon output to build two new turbos, the carbon created for a person to work to earn the money to purchase the new turbos, the cost of building rental or loaner cars while turbos are replaced . . . all far outweigh the meager fuel savings.

[@MohammedHassan-nc1pu]

All that just to save $1 worth of gas a week!!!

[@mrvoyagerm]

This is THE most ridiculous function ever invented for internal combustion vehicles. Whatever it might save in fuel is surely used up in reliability. Have you priced the cost of replacing a starter lately? SPTRADER is absolutely right.

[@Charles-A]

You are bitching out of ignorance. The starter and the automatic start stop are different mechanisms. You won't even hear the starter cranking when the car starts again

[@artvandelay5061]

Is there any way to permanently disable this feature on Toyota Corolla Cross 2022? Does anyone know?

[@96Duelfuel]

Didn't realize this model was equipped with this until reading the specs at the dealer...

[@lazorboy96]

"Wah wah, Start/Stop System will kill the engine!" The engineers who designed the system have thought of this and used a starter that is more durable. "But stopping and starting engines will consume more fuel!" No, no it does not. Idling for 7 seconds will consume the same amount of fuel as stopping and starting an engine. Starting an engine takes a minuscule amount of fuel. Evidence: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnesnnueg9yVgNE

Ok, let me get this straight. You are not saving gas with the start stop bullcrap. U are wasting gas because it requires more gas to start an engine rather than letting it idle. And that is excess wear on the starter and the engine. Reply with your argument but ik what I'm talking about I have a lot of experience with engines and how they work and what's better for them. Thank you and have a good day

[@gearsofwar3xXx]

Once an engine has been idling for more than 10 seconds, it has wasted more gas then it would take to restart it.

[@IOCaneTech]

Here is a video showing a device I made that disables it each time you start the vehicle. You can simply press the button if you want to turn it back on. But this disables it by default each time you start the vehicle :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYaxgHVuhNp_fJY

why can't the car manufacturers let the car buyer choose whether they want the start and stop feature? we can think for ourselves. i do not like the start and stop system.. suppose u are at a busy intersection, are u have to stop in heavy traffic and the start function does not come back on? u see then the driver and the passengers will be toast
