In fact, you won&#8217;t have to sift through a single menu or settings screen to get the job done. <strong>You can disable this feature using the Auto Start-Stop button (pictured to the right), which is typically located on the dashboard above your central touchscreen display. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that Auto Start-Stop will reset to the ON position each time you shut off the vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 40%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/akinsford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1027\/2020\/11\/Ford-Auto-Start-Stop-icon_o.png);background-position:50% 50%\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/akinsford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1027\/2020\/11\/Ford-Auto-Start-Stop-icon_o.png\" alt=\"Ford Auto Start-Stop Dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-10522 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is My Auto Start-Stop Not Working?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A green Auto Start-Stop icon will be illuminated in your instrument cluster display when the Auto Start-Stop system has cut off engine power. If you notice Engine Auto Start-Stop isn&#8217;t kicking in at a stop, don&#8217;t fret. There are a number of reasons a perfectly functional start-stop system may not turn off the engine while idling. Auto Start-Stop will not shut your engine off at every stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your engine may also restart if necessary to maintain interior comfort or to recharge the battery. Auto Start-Stop will also be automatically disabled if you&#8217;re towing a trailer or using the 4H or 4L feature of the four-wheel drive system.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akinsford.com\/blog\/how-to-reset-tire-pressure-sensors-on-ford-vehicles\/\">How to Reset the Tire Pressure Sensors on Your Ford Vehicle<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/15191326\/2srpcard-icons-checkmark_n.png\" alt=\"Checkmark above #1 volume F-series dealer in the nation based on 2023 Ford retail sales report\" class=\"wp-image-21133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/15191326\/2srpcard-icons-checkmark_n.png 450w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/15191326\/2srpcard-icons-checkmark_n-300x95.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>#1 volume F-series dealer in the nation<\/strong> based on the 2023 Ford retail sales report<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/15191326\/2srpcard-icons-checkmark_n.png\" alt=\"checkmark above #1 volume Ford dealer in the Southeast based on 2023 Ford retail sales report\" class=\"wp-image-21133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/15191326\/2srpcard-icons-checkmark_n.png 450w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/15191326\/2srpcard-icons-checkmark_n-300x95.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>#1 volume Ford dealer in the Southeast<\/strong> based on the 2023 Ford retail sales report<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/15191326\/2srpcard-icons-checkmark_n.png\" alt=\"Checkmark above #1 volume Ford dealer in the nation for the month of June 2024\" class=\"wp-image-21133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/15191326\/2srpcard-icons-checkmark_n.png 450w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/15191326\/2srpcard-icons-checkmark_n-300x95.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>#1 volume Ford dealer in the nation <\/strong>for the month of June 2024<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/15191326\/2srpcard-icons-checkmark_n.png\" alt=\"checkmark above #1 volume Ford dealer in Georgia based on 2023 Ford retail sales report\" class=\"wp-image-21133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/15191326\/2srpcard-icons-checkmark_n.png 450w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/15191326\/2srpcard-icons-checkmark_n-300x95.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>#1 volume Ford dealer in Georgia<\/strong> based on the 2023 Ford retail sales report<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turning Off the F-150 Truck&#8217;s Engine Automatic Start-Stop Feature Are you tired of your Ford F-150 constantly turning off and on at traffic lights?
