How to Turn off automatic stop and start on a 2025 Equinox rs

Not to be sarcastic or anything, but it should say how in the owners manual

Hello, Tearza1212. If the RS dash is the same as the LS, it would be to the lower left of the steering wheel. The button next to the "Autohold" button, with an "A" with a circle around it.

The bad part is, it will need to be selected each time the car is turned on. The feature has no memory.

For earlier versions of the Equinox (2024 and earlier), there's a short inexpensive harness that can be installed that will make it so this doesn't have to be selected each time, but it is not listed to work on the 2025. At least not yet. I will purchase and install if it does end up being listed to fit the 2025 in the future.

I like the location of these buttons way better than on the 2022 - 2024. My AWD button is flat on the center console and can be accidently pressed, causing wasted gas and unneeded irritation. Good move Chevy!

The flashing hazard button was hard to find for me...LoL...Had to resort to the owners manual....It's on the overhead console, mixed in with the Onstar buttons.... For some reason I just did not think to look for it up there, seems like a funny spot for it.

Take your medals and shove them where the sun does not shine.

Owners manual???

 

[ricklack]

Owners manual???

Is this a serious question? The owner's manual is in the glove box, at least it was still there on my 2022. If you go to your GM account website, you can also download a PDF version. I keep a copy on all my laptops so I can look things up as needed. with all the new tech, I am still finding occasional things I need to check, almost 3 years after buying it.

Not sure when they started, but my 2025 is only online. I printed off the 300+ pages but don't want to keep it in the glove box because it is too big.

Why is this not surprising that they went to online only? Everything else is going that way - looks like they just saved a few trees.

 

[Autoworker 74]

Yes it came that way but there was a message somewhere that said a paper manual could be ordered.

This 2025 was so much different than my 2014 I decided I better know where the emergency flashers are. Took me a half an hour, I never thought to look up either. I use mine a lot, like thanking someone for going out of their way to let me into traffic.

I'm a vietnam veteran but don't broadcast it. I left that part of my life behind.

We just purchased a 2025 Equinox LT and it did not come with an Owner’s Manual. Had to order it for about $50 from HelmInc. It’s a smaller format than default 8.5” x 11” if print the PDF.

50 dollars for a book kept in the globe compartment? Why? Idon't meant to be flip, but don't you know how to read a pdf? I mean 99% of adults in the US have cell phones and all necessary vehicle data is printed on the car's pillar. Please don't take my comment the wrong way, it's just 50 dollars is a rip off.
