[DiPaislee]

The start-stop function of the Excelle cannot be permanently disabled. Pros and cons of the automatic start-stop system: 1. Pros - Fuel saving: Whether waiting at a red light or stuck in traffic, the engine automatic start-stop technology can automatically shut off the engine when the vehicle is stationary, achieving the goal of fuel economy. 2. Cons - Increased vehicle costs: Cars equipped with the automatic start-stop system are more expensive than those without. Additionally, due to the frequent starting and stopping of the engine, there is a higher demand for oil quality. Impact of engine start-stop on the vehicle: 1. The engine and start-stop system configured for start-stop functionality can endure hundreds of thousands of cycles, essentially matching the lifespan of the vehicle. 2. The start-stop function only stops the engine from working, but the oil system does not stop. This means that even though the engine is not running, oil will still circulate inside the engine, ensuring better lubrication when the car starts again, thereby protecting the engine.
