What does auto start-stop management mean?
1 Answers
Auto start-stop management is an engine start-stop technology. The engine start-stop technology is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving (e.g., waiting at a red light). More related information is as follows: 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 shifts to neutral. When the vehicle is in a stopped state (not in park), the engine will pause operation (instead of maintaining traditional idle speed). During this pause, the lubricating oil inside the engine continues to circulate, keeping the engine internally lubricated. When the brake pedal is released, the engine will restart. Since the lubricating oil has been continuously circulating, frequent stops and starts will not cause wear and tear inside the engine. 2. Simply put, auto start-stop management means that when the vehicle is waiting at a red light or not moving for an extended period, the engine will automatically shut off. This helps reduce fuel consumption and also decreases the pollution caused by vehicle emissions to the atmosphere. Therefore, this feature is now being widely implemented in passenger cars.
