What does it mean when the engine fuel-saving auto start-stop is not provided?
1 Answers
Engine fuel-saving auto start-stop not being provided means that the vehicle's conditions do not meet the activation requirements of the auto start-stop system. Possible reasons include the brake not being fully depressed or insufficient battery charge. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when it's time to move forward again. Below are some related details: 1. Principle: The auto start-stop system is achieved by equipping a traditional engine with an enhanced motor that has idle start-stop functionality. This allows the engine to completely shut off when the vehicle meets the conditions for idle stop. When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's command, restarting the engine instantly to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. 2. Features: The auto start-stop system uses a computer to determine the vehicle's state, such as when stopped at a red light or in traffic. The computer can control the engine to stop automatically without affecting the use of in-car devices like the air conditioner or audio system. 3. Benefit: This technology can save up to 5% of fuel under normal driving conditions and up to about 15% in congested traffic.
