How to Use Engine Start-Stop Technology?

[DeHarper]

Start-stop system works as follows: when the vehicle comes to a halt due to traffic congestion or at intersections, the driver depresses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this point, the Start/Stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops running. More details are as follows: 1. Engine start-stop technology automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle temporarily stops during driving (e.g., waiting at a red light). When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Simply press the brake pedal while driving, and the engine will automatically shut off about two seconds after the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Keeping the brake pedal depressed will maintain the engine in the off state. 2. As soon as the brake is released or the steering wheel is turned, the engine will immediately restart automatically, allowing the driver to press the accelerator and start moving again—all while remaining in Drive (D) mode. 3. Technology overview: Engine start-stop automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle temporarily stops during driving (e.g., waiting at a red light). When it's time to proceed, the system automatically restarts the engine.
