Must the Auto Start-Stop Function Always Require Brake Pedal Pressure?
1 Answers
Auto start-stop requires continuous brake pedal pressure. Typically, the auto start-stop function only activates when the brake pedal is depressed, allowing the engine to automatically shut off. When the vehicle is stationary with wheels not rotating, holding the brake pedal does not cause wear to the brake pads or discs. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Engine auto start-stop automatically shuts off the engine during temporary stops while driving (such as at traffic lights). The system automatically restarts the engine when it's time to proceed. 2. The working principle of the engine auto start-stop system is that when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at intersections, the driver depresses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. 3. Vehicles equipped with auto start-stop systems usually have the function enabled by default. To deactivate the system, the driver can press the auto start-stop button (typically a circular arrow containing the letter A), and the dashboard will indicate the system is off. To reactivate the function, simply press the button again.
