What is the A button?

[Poky_ID91]

Hey everyone. I have a friend that has a 2019 Ford Fusion and we were wondering what this button is. The A button. I live away from him and he doesn't have the owners manual. Long story. Dont ask. Anyway, I can't find any info on it.

It's for Auto Stop/Start system:

Disabling Auto-Start-Stop

  Press the Auto-Start-Stop button located on the center console to switch the system off. The button will illuminate. The system will only be deactivated for the current ignition cycle. Press the button again to restore Auto-Start-Stop function.

They can go to owner.ford.com and either register or just go to support and download or view in the browser either an HTML interactive manual, or a linear PDF of the Owners Manual. That is a fairly easy place to access the disable Auto Start/Stop. Mine is on the dash next to the disable TCS, I find I disable auto start/stop frequently, but I just use Sport shift mode to do it. My main complaint is when it does it when I am in a left turn situation with oncoming traffic, I feel that with the steering angle I am at it shouldn't do it.

You can also get owners manuals from motorcraftservice.com -> Free Resources -> Owner information.

 

The only time I turn off Auto Stop/Start on my F150 is when turning left so there is no delay in the steering.  Otherwise it works great.
