Does Engine Start-Stop Harm the Engine?
1 Answers
Engine start-stop does not harm the engine. The engine start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when needed to continue moving. Situations where the start-stop system should be turned off include: 1. Do not use the start-stop system on slopes; 2. Turn off the start-stop system during irregular stop-and-go driving; 3. Disable the start-stop system when using the air conditioning; 4. Deactivate the start-stop system during low-speed parking; 5. Do not refuel when the start-stop system has shut off the engine; 6. It is recommended to turn off the start-stop system when the fuel warning light is on; 7. The start-stop system must be turned off when driving through water.
