Exciting advancements in automotive technology often come with a side of skepticism. Drivers are often eager to learn ways of bypassing new technology in the event of an emergency or mechanical failure. The Start-Stop feature many Toyota models now offer allows drivers to save fuel by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop and restarting the engine when the driver releases the brake. However, there are instances in which a Toyota owner may wish to disable the feature. Disabling Start-Stop is advisable when towing, if the air conditioner's output decreases, or if the vehicle's windows fog as a result of the engine being shut off for an extended period.
