Can the Engine Start-Stop Function Be Permanently Disabled?
1 Answers
The engine start-stop function can be manually turned off via a switch in the vehicle. However, it cannot be permanently disabled; you need to manually deactivate it each time you start the car. The start-stop technology automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving. When you need to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Below is an introduction to how the start-stop system works: 1. The Start/Stop system automatically detects when the engine is idling and no gear is engaged. 2. The wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock braking system indicate zero movement. 3. The electronic battery sensor shows there is sufficient energy for the next start. 4. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops running.
