What are the functions of engine start-stop technology?

The function of engine start-stop technology is to automatically shut off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as waiting at a red light) and the gear is disengaged. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Below is a detailed introduction to the start-stop system: 1. The working principle of the start-stop system is that when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and disengages the gear. At this point, the Start/Stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and no gear is engaged; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates there is enough energy for the next start. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops. 2. When the traffic light turns green, the driver presses the clutch, which immediately activates the 'start stopper' and quickly starts the engine. The driver engages the gear, presses the accelerator, and the vehicle starts swiftly. Supported by efficient battery technology and corresponding engine management programs, the start-stop system can operate normally even at lower temperatures, requiring only a brief preheating process to activate.
