My wife has the Highlander as well. If you don’t ‘tromp’ the brake petal and are gentle the shut off function does not engage. It does take some right foot training for it to be consistent. Good luck.My wife’s highlander has it. We’re back and forth to see our child in the NICU in Wilmington everyday and it’s not the thing for 90+ degree heat in July when the car hasn’t cooled down yet. I despise it but haven’t dug into possibly turning it off.
It’s not a good idea any way I look at it in my opinion, especially if the engine is turbocharged.
Nothing like hot stagnant oil baking in a turbo.
Yep. Especially when you just came off the interstate onto a short exit ramp to a stoplight with the turbocharger(s) still spinning at 120,000 rpm.
Remote start is disabled with that also...When I used to work for Dodge/Jeep a customer that had a Wrangler disabled his by disconnecting his hood switch. He told me that the " Hood open" indicator stays on but it stopped it from shutting off. Maybe the vehicle thinks its being worked on and disables that feature ?
Uhhhh,, he didnt mention that.. But good of you to bring it up..Remote start is disabled with that also...
