Mystery switches.

[Tyree1n]

Why does my ‘24 XLT hybrid have ( or not have)switches that aren’t in the manual or quick reference guide? The console switch on the right in the photo? It’s not in the symbol index.
And the auto start- stop shut off switch? I read about it in the manual, I know what it looks like.
But it ain’t on my truck.

Auto start stop will be on your Ford Pass App it will crank your car at a set time the switch on the right if you are talking about the switch with the hand once you stop at the light and release your break it will sit there until you mash the gas your car will not roll I believe it's called Break assist I could be wrong about the name but not the function

LOLS. Hybrid DOES "auto start/stop", there is no button to disable it.

In fact it auto stops without the vehicle stopping.........

That is a "scheduled start," not the auto start/stop being discussed here. The two concepts are not related.

The

maybe I'm confused about auto start then I thought that meant you can hit a button to start your car without being in it and you can also do that from the Ford pass and at the same time you can schedule a start to crank up at the same time every day two different start features so maybe I'm just confused about auto start I thought auto start

Apologize one of my earlier comments about the Ford Pass App it is a remote start on the app not auto start

You are correct I was incorrect that is a remote start that I'm referring to not auto start

All good; it isn't something you have to worry about on Hybrids - hence, no switch to turn it off.

The switch on the right activates your brake hold function. When you pull up to a stop light with it turned on, you can take your foot off of the brake pedal and the brakes will stay engaged. Just press the gas and off you go.

Because the Auto-Start Stop function as it pertains to Ford and its disable button in the Ecoboost, automatically starts and stops the ICE when you come to a complete stop. The hybrid is switching it on and off whenever the need arises. Is it automatic? Yes. Does it work the same way as what Ford defines as Auto-start-stop as in the EcoBoost? No. The Ecoboost ICE has to start for the vehicle to go. The hybrid's ICE doesn't have to.

If you want to say the hybrid has auto-start-stop, knock yourself out. The owner's manual tell you how to turn auto-start-stop off and on. Let me know how that works out for you. edit: you don't have a hybrid.

I would say we're splitting hairs here. Seems like it boils down to one's definition of Auto-Start/Stop.
