Car engine start-stop can be turned off. The auto start-stop system is automatically enabled by default when the key is powered on, and can be deactivated by pressing a button. The auto start-stop system is designed to automatically shut off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restart it when moving forward again. This system helps reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy. The conditions required for the auto start-stop to activate are: 1. The engine is idling and not in gear; 2. The wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; 3. The battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start.

Is a Start-Stop Battery Durable When Used in a Regular Car?

Regular vehicles can also use start-stop batteries, but vehicles equipped with an automatic start-stop system cannot use regular batteries, as this may affect the normal operation of the start-stop system. Start-stop batteries are reinforced versions. Signs of a failing car battery include: Difficulty starting the car: If the car suddenly has trouble starting without other factors, it may be a sign of impending battery failure. Dimming lights during idle: For example, when stopped at a red light or temporarily parked, the headlights may suddenly dim due to reduced charging power from the engine at idle. Battery warning light on: If the battery warning light illuminates, it indicates the owner should have the battery inspected at a repair shop. Normal driving but occasional complete power loss after parking and restarting: This occurs when the battery nears the end of its lifespan, providing insufficient starting current, leading to increased oxidation at the battery terminals and resulting in a complete power loss.
