What does automatic start-stop management mean?

[DeAlice]

Automatic start-stop management is an engine start-stop technology, which is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving. The working principle of the start-stop system is that when the vehicle is stationary, the engine will pause operation. During this pause, the lubricating oil inside the engine continues to circulate, maintaining internal lubrication. When the brake pedal is released, the engine will restart. Below are the advantages and disadvantages of automatic start-stop management: 1. Advantages: Fuel savings. The core of automatic start-stop is the automatic control of engine shutdown and restart, allowing the vehicle to temporarily turn off the engine during brief stops, reducing unnecessary fuel consumption. 2. Disadvantages: Requires more durable starters and batteries. Standard starter designs allow for high working currents but are intended for very short usage periods. Repeated use of the starter can easily lead to overheating and damage, so starters with automatic start-stop functionality must be significantly more durable than regular starters. Additionally, the increased number of battery charge and discharge cycles can also impact battery lifespan.
