Does Auto Start-Stop Require Continuous Brake Pedal Pressure

[LaLiam]

Auto start-stop requires continuous depression of the brake pedal for the function to activate. Here's an explanation of how the auto start-stop system works: 1. The system operates when the vehicle stops due to traffic congestion or at intersections. 2. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the start/stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and in neutral; wheel speed sensors from the ABS show zero rotation. 3. The electronic battery sensor confirms sufficient energy for the next start. 4. When all three conditions are met, the engine automatically shuts off. When the traffic light turns green, the driver presses the clutch (in manual transmissions) to reactivate the starter and quickly restart the engine.
