What does the A on the dashboard mean?

[VivianMarie]

Automobile dashboard A represents the auto start-stop function. Below is relevant introduction about auto start-stop: 1. Auto start-stop automatically turns off the engine when temporarily stopping during driving (e.g. waiting at traffic lights). When needing to proceed, the system automatically restarts the engine. This function aims to reduce emissions and fuel consumption during traffic light stops or short parking. 2. The main advantage is fuel saving - its core lies in automatically controlling engine shutdown and restart, allowing temporary engine cutoff during brief stops to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption. 3. It works by equipping traditional engines with enhanced motors featuring idle start-stop capability, enabling complete engine shutdown when meeting idle stop conditions. When restarting is needed, the idle start-stop motor system rapidly responds to driver commands, quickly restarting the engine for instant engagement, significantly reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
