What are the triggering conditions for Audi's automatic start-stop system?
1 Answers
Audi's intelligent engine start-stop system activates under the following conditions: After the vehicle starts moving, once the speed exceeds 3km/h (approximately 2mph) and this condition persists for about 4 seconds, the engine start-stop function will automatically activate. The automatic engine start-stop system can be applied to both manual transmission and automatic transmission models, with different operation methods for each. When the vehicle needs to move forward again, the engine will automatically restart. Introduction to Audi's intelligent engine start-stop system: Engines equipped with the start-stop configuration and the start-stop system have a lifespan of several hundred thousand cycles, essentially matching the vehicle's lifespan. However, the start-stop function only stops the engine from working while the oil system continues operating. This means although the engine isn't rotating, oil still circulates internally, providing better lubrication when restarting and protecting the engine. The automatic engine start-stop technology can automatically shut off the engine when stopping, achieving fuel-saving purposes.
