The auto start-stop indicator turning yellow indicates that the function is turned off, while green means the function is normally activated and operational. The start-stop system works by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle stops due to traffic congestion or at intersections. Below is additional information about auto start-stop: 1. Auto start-stop, or engine auto start-stop, is a system that automatically turns off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. 2. When the driver presses the brake pedal to stop and shifts to neutral, the start-stop system automatically checks three conditions: the engine is idling and not in gear, the anti-lock braking system wheel speed sensors show zero rotation, and the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. If all three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops.

What is the engine idle speed?

Engine idle speed ranges from 1100 to 1500 RPM. The idle condition generally refers to the state where the throttle is completely released and the engine runs naturally. The engine speed in cold condition is usually higher than in warm condition, mainly to allow the engine to heat up quickly and reach normal operating temperature, ensuring good lubrication. Solutions for high or low engine idle speed: 1. Adjust or replace the throttle position sensor; 2. Clean or replace the idle control valve and use a dedicated decoder to perform basic idle speed setting; 3. Clean and check if the fuel injectors meet atomization requirements; 4. Replace the three-way catalytic converter and locate system leaks.

What are the reasons for difficulty in starting a sedan?

Reasons for difficulty in starting a sedan: 1. Poor quality gasoline that does not meet standards; 2. Oxygen sensor failure; 3. Air flow sensor failure; 4. Spark plug carbon buildup; 5. Engine knocking; 6. Damaged water temperature sensor; 7. High-pressure fuel pump damage, leading to engine misfire. The car engine is the device that provides power to the car, serving as the heart of the vehicle and an energy conversion device. Its function is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the expanding gas in a sealed cylinder, thereby pushing the piston to perform work. Depending on the power source, car engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid engines, among others.

What are the reasons for ineffective brakes?

Reasons for ineffective brakes: 1. Excessive free travel of the brake pedal; 2. Insufficient or no oil in the brake master cylinder reservoir; 3. Air entering the brake lines or vaporization of brake fluid causing air resistance; 4. Aging or wear of the master cylinder and wheel cylinder cups leading to poor sealing; 5. Loose or detached vacuum pipe connections of the vacuum booster or power booster; 6. Diaphragm rupture or poor sealing of the sealing ring. In vehicles, braking mainly refers to pressing the brake pedal, which relies on the friction between the brake pads and brake discs to generate resistance, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. Whether it's a manual transmission or an automatic transmission model, the brake pedal of a car is controlled by the right foot.
