What does the 'ss' displayed on the car dashboard mean?

[McElliana]

The 'ss' on the dashboard is the auto start-stop light, which illuminates when the start-stop function is activated and turns off when it is deactivated. Engine auto start-stop is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) and restarts it when it's time to move forward again. Below are the details: 1. The English name for auto start-stop is STOP&START, abbreviated as STT. The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a set of controls for engine start and stop. 2. By equipping a traditional engine with an enhanced motor that has idle start-stop functionality, the car can completely shut off the engine when idle stop conditions are met. When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's start command, rapidly restarting the engine for seamless transition, thereby significantly reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
