Can the Air Conditioning Still Work When the Auto Start-Stop is Activated?

[MaximusMarie]

When the engine start-stop technology is activated, the air conditioning cannot be used. Below is relevant information about the engine start-stop technology: On steep slopes: If the vehicle is driving on a relatively steep slope, it is best to avoid using the auto start-stop feature. Although the start-stop duration is brief, it may lead to insufficient brake assistance on slopes. In extremely hot weather: When the air conditioning is running at full capacity in scorching weather, it is advisable to turn off the auto start-stop function. This is because the air conditioning requires significant power consumption, and the vehicle's electrical system may not supply enough power to keep it running when the engine is off, causing discomfort for passengers. During water wading: When driving through water, it is recommended to disable the start-stop system. This prevents the engine from stalling if the vehicle needs to stop mid-drive, as a sudden drop in exhaust pressure could allow water to flow back into the engine through the exhaust pipe, potentially preventing the engine from restarting.
