What does Mazda i-stop mean?
2 Answers
Mazda's i-STOP is an intelligent idle stop system. When the vehicle comes to a stop, the engine automatically shuts off immediately, and when the vehicle starts moving again, it restarts within 0.3 seconds, achieving the goal of saving fuel. Information about the intelligent idle stop system is as follows: 1. This idle stop system is used to replace the starter, injecting fuel into the engine cylinders that are in a stopped state. This causes combustion, thereby restarting the engine. 2. The advantage of the Smart Idle Stop System (SISS) is that it not only significantly reduces the weight burden on the engine and battery but also allows the engine to restart in an extremely short time of just 0.3 seconds.
Mazda's i-stop is an intelligent idle stop system in vehicles. I personally experienced it during a test drive of a Mazda model. When you're waiting at a red light or stopped, as long as the vehicle speed is zero and the brake is pressed, the engine automatically shuts off, which saves fuel. When you release the brake or lightly press the accelerator, it restarts immediately with super-fast response and virtually no delay. The design is quite ingenious. For example, it uses the car's sensors to check whether the ambient temperature and battery voltage are suitable, avoiding operation in extremely cold or hot conditions to prevent wear and tear. In urban traffic jams, it can save a small amount of fuel money daily and reduce exhaust emissions, contributing to environmental protection. However, battery aging can affect its startup, so it's recommended that owners perform regular checks and maintenance to keep the system running smoothly. Overall, it's practical and economical, one of Mazda's standout technologies.
