Does anyone know if the Toyota Gen 6 4Runners turn off the car at every stop sign or stop light and then starts the car when you want to accelerate? I hate that. I did notice an after market part for the 2024 Tacoma's to stop the starter from turning off at every stop light. I hope the new 4Runners do not have that feature.

non HV should have a start/stop button.

hv models will not since i think the electric motor will take over up to 18 mph like the tundra

its just too bad it doesnt sound like this going from electric to motor

technically its not auto(matic) on toyota's

the way toyota has it implemented, you have to press the brake past a certain point to activate the stop/start system

if you lightly apply the brakes to come to a stop the stop/start system is bypassed.

Auto Star Stop (ASS) is on the SR5 4x2, TRD Sport 4x2 and Limited trims.

If you don't like auto start stop there's defeat / disable device:

Auto Start Stop (ASS) Disable/Delete/Defeat Solution
Every person I have talked to who has that feature on their brand of car does not like it. I just feel it will affect a starter over the long haul with the constant starts while daily diving.

I guess that prevents the car from turning off every time you lightly press the break in traffic. I for sure will install the attachment. I wonder if it affects the warranty if you install it. Does it show it on the cars computer history if you take it off before bringing it in for a service warranty item?
