What does SS mean on the car dashboard?
1 Answers
SS light is the automatic start-stop warning indicator, which means the function is currently unavailable. This is a self-protection mechanism of the automatic start-stop system to prevent repeated activation of the function during frequent short-term stops, thereby protecting the ignition system from damage caused by excessive and frequent ignition. Here are some related details: 1. The automatic start-stop function is enabled by default. This means the feature activates every time the vehicle is started. Some models allow disabling this function, while others do not provide an option to turn it off. 2. For models that support disabling the automatic start-stop, there is usually a dedicated button. The location of this button varies by model, typically found in one of two positions: either below the engine start/stop button or near the gear lever. 3. The automatic start-stop button is identified by an icon featuring an open circle with a small arrow and the letter 'A' inside. 4. Some models may also display an 'OFF' label beneath the automatic start-stop icon. Pressing this button turns off the automatic start-stop function. This feature was developed by manufacturers to improve fuel efficiency. According to authoritative tests, vehicles equipped with automatic start-stop can save 10% to 15% in fuel annually.
