Can Auto Start-Stop Technology Save Fuel?
1 Answers
Auto start-stop technology is relatively fuel-efficient. Here is a detailed introduction to auto start-stop technology: 1. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine to continue driving. 2. The engine auto start-stop system is one of the most rapidly developing eco-friendly automotive technologies in recent years, especially suitable for stop-and-go urban driving conditions. This system can achieve up to 15% fuel savings in urban driving scenarios. The auto start-stop system is very convenient to use—during driving, simply press the brake pedal fully. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop for about two seconds, the engine will automatically shut off. As long as the brake pedal remains pressed, the engine will stay off. 3. Just release the brake or turn the steering wheel, and the engine will immediately restart automatically, allowing you to press the accelerator to start moving. The entire process usually remains in D gear. Direct injection engines are more suitable for this technology. Of course, when using a vehicle equipped with this feature, it's essential to use high-quality engine oil; otherwise, the system may not function effectively.
