How to Properly Use Auto Start-Stop?
1 Answers
For automatic transmission vehicles, the auto start-stop system operates normally as long as the car is running. Here are more details: 1. The purpose of auto start-stop is to automatically shut off the engine during low-speed driving and repeated stops, avoiding unnecessary fuel consumption. It also reduces idle time, thereby minimizing engine carbon buildup. 2. In manual transmission vehicles, the auto start-stop system is enabled by default and requires manual deactivation. When parking, shift to neutral, engage the handbrake, and release the clutch. The system recognizes these three actions and automatically shuts off the engine. Pressing the clutch again will restart the engine. 3. Avoid using auto start-stop when driving on steep slopes. It's also advisable to disable the function during extremely hot weather in southern regions when the air conditioning is running at full capacity, as well as when driving through water.
