How to Use the Auto Start-Stop Function in a Car?

Using the auto start-stop function in a car: 1. The auto start-stop system is in normal working condition once the car is started; 2. When encountering a red light or stopping for other reasons, the engine will automatically shut off after pressing the brake for two seconds; 3. When ready to start again, simply release the brake, press the accelerator, or gently turn the steering wheel, and the engine will restart. The auto start-stop function automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) and automatically restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. In simple terms, it is a system that can automatically control the engine's shutdown and ignition, abbreviated as STT.
I've been driving an SUV with auto start-stop for the past few years, and it's been my go-to for dropping off and picking up the kids from school. Once the feature is activated, the car automatically detects when it comes to a stop, like at a red light when I press the brake, and the engine shuts off to save fuel. As soon as the light turns green and I release the brake, the engine restarts instantly, making for an ultra-smooth takeoff. There's no need for manual intervention—it's all preset when you start the car. I find it really fuel-efficient, saving me about a hundred bucks a month on gas, but I also have to pay attention to battery maintenance since the feature might not work properly if the battery is low. Sometimes, in heavy traffic during short trips, I press the button to turn it off to avoid the vibration from frequent starts. Overall, this little piece of technology is both eco-friendly and cost-effective, making it worth using regularly in daily driving.
