Start-Stop system, translated as Start-Stop system in English, is when the vehicle is in a stopped state (not in park), the engine will pause operation (instead of maintaining traditional idle speed). During this pause, the lubricating oil inside the engine continues to circulate, keeping the engine internally lubricated. When the brake pedal is released, the engine will restart. Since the lubricating oil has been continuously circulating, frequent stops and starts will not cause wear to the internal parts of the engine. Below is related information: 1. The main function of the engine: The main function of the engine is to increase pressure and improve intake volume to achieve high power output, making the car more powerful. Engines can be categorized by their intake system operation into naturally aspirated and turbocharged types; by cylinder arrangement into inline engines, V-type engines, W-type engines, and horizontally opposed engines. 2. STT: Short for STOP & START. The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a system that controls engine start and stop. This system uses a computer to determine the vehicle's state, such as when the vehicle is stopped at a red light or in traffic congestion. The computer can control the engine to automatically stop running, and during this stop phase, it does not affect the use of in-car equipment like air conditioning or audio systems.

The auto start-stop system is a feature that automatically turns off the engine when I stop at a red light or in traffic while driving, and it quickly restarts when I press the accelerator. Having driven cars with this function for many years, the biggest benefit is fuel savings, especially in stop-and-go city driving, where it can reduce fuel consumption by 5% to 10%, adding up to significant savings over time. The driving experience includes a slight vibration during startup, but modern car designs minimize delays, and it becomes unnoticeable once you get used to it. The only thing to watch out for is avoiding prolonged stops with the air conditioning on during hot weather, as it can make the cabin stuffy or put extra load on the battery. The system relies on sensors to detect stopping conditions and triggers automatically, ensuring safety. I find this feature quite intelligent—it makes daily commutes more convenient while reducing idle emissions and noise pollution. Overall, the start-stop system optimizes the driving experience and, when used correctly, serves as a practical aid.

As an environmentally conscious individual, I think the start-stop system is fantastic. Turning off the engine when parked means zero emissions, reducing greenhouse gases and air pollution. I often use it while driving in the city, and data shows it can cut idle exhaust emissions by 10-15%, which helps improve smoggy weather. In terms of driving experience, there's a slight humming sound at startup, but the response is quick and doesn't affect safety. The only downside is that in extreme weather, like freezing cold or scorching heat, comfort may decrease when the system turns off the engine. I recommend keeping it on all the time to support eco-friendly transportation. The automotive industry incorporating this design in innovation is a step toward low-carbon living, and I highly advocate for it.

I'm quite interested in automotive technology. Simply put, the start-stop system automatically turns off the engine when stopping to save energy. It relies on sensors to determine conditions like hard braking to activate, with reinforced starters enabling quick ignition. Daily use shows noticeable fuel savings, reducing urban driving consumption by over 5%. There's a slight vibration during startup but it's very brief, requiring specially durable batteries to support frequent operation, with overall good durability. This feature represents the direction of intelligent evolution in modern vehicles.

What is the maximum number of points deducted for handling a traffic violation at one time?

According to the latest traffic penalty point standards, the most severe penalty is the deduction of 12 points followed by the revocation of the driver's license. Therefore, the maximum number of points that can be deducted at one time is 12. However, it is possible to accumulate more than 12 points if multiple violations occur within a short period. Additional Information: If a driver accumulates more than 12 points but fewer than 24 points within a single scoring cycle, the driver's license will be temporarily suspended. The license holder must participate in traffic safety laws and regulations training and pass the written test (Subject 1) to clear the penalty points and have the license returned. If a driver accumulates 24 points or more within a cycle, in addition to Subject 1, they must also pass the road driving skills test (Subject 3). If a driver accumulates 12 points for a second time within the same scoring cycle due to traffic violations, they must also take both Subject 1 and Subject 3.

What is the difference between a new car and a used car?

The differences between a new car and a used car are as follows: 1. Different definitions: A new car refers to a vehicle with zero transfer records, meaning it is a brand-new car purchased from a dealership, directly from the production line. A used car refers to a motor vehicle that has been registered with the public security traffic management authorities, has not yet reached the national scrapping standards or is within its economically practical service life, and can still be used. 2. Different advantages: A new car satisfies in terms of price, as purchasing a new car not only saves on purchase tax but also significantly reduces the vehicle cost. The biggest selling point of a used car is its affordable price. With the same amount of money used to buy a new car, one can purchase a higher-grade used car. 3. Different handling channels: The usual channels and methods for used cars include: used car markets, used car websites, brokerage companies, and trade-in activities at 4S stores. The handling channels for new cars include: trade-in activities at 4S stores and direct sales to used car companies.

How many types of car sunroofs are there?

There are three types of car sunroofs: built-in sunroofs, pop-up sunroofs, and panoramic sunroofs. Taking the built-in sunroof as an example, it refers to a sunroof where the sliding assembly is placed between the interior and the roof, offering two opening methods: pop-up and fully open. Functionally, it can meet more needs, but since the sunroof is stored in the roof interlayer when fully opened, it occupies some interior space. Car sunroofs are installed on the roof, effectively promoting air circulation inside the vehicle and increasing the intake of fresh air. Additionally, car sunroofs can provide a broader view and meet the needs of mobile photography and videography. Car sunroofs change the traditional ventilation method. When wind blows in, it creates an airflow that draws out the stale air inside the cabin. When the car is driving at high speed, air flows rapidly around the vehicle. When the sunroof is opened, a low-pressure area forms outside the car. Due to the difference in air pressure inside and outside the car, the stale air inside is drawn out, achieving the purpose of ventilation.
