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.

What Are the Reasons Why the Car Doesn't Respond When Pressing the Car Key?

Reasons why the car doesn't respond when pressing the car key: 1. The car key battery is dead; 2. Interference from magnetic fields; 3. The car's anti-theft system is activated, and once activated, the car cannot be unlocked with the key. If the car key battery is dead, you need to remove the mechanical key, find the gap in the plastic casing, and use the mechanical key to open the remote key along the gap. If there is radio interference, the car's remote key cannot unlock the door, so you need to remove the mechanical key and use the mechanical lock to open the door. If the anti-theft system is activated, you can use the mechanical key on the remote key to unlock the door. The mechanical lock on the door is hidden; you can pry off the outer shell of the door handle with the mechanical key to reveal the hidden mechanical lock.
