What are the pros and cons of engine start-stop technology?

[LaBeckett]

Engine start-stop technology can reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy. The downside is that it requires more durable starters and higher-quality engine oil. Engine start-stop technology automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) during driving. When it's time to move again, the system automatically restarts the engine. The working principle of engine start-stop is: 1. When the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. 2. 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.
