What does the SS with a slash light on the car mean?

[DelClayton]

SS light is an automatic start-stop warning indicator, meaning that the function is currently unavailable. This is a self-protection mechanism of the automatic start-stop function to prevent the system from repeatedly activating the function during frequent short stops, thereby protecting the ignition system from damage caused by repeated and frequent ignition. Below is an introduction to the gears of an automatic transmission car: 1. L gear: Low gear, which limits speed. When climbing a hill, shifting to this gear maintains a state of high RPM and low gear. 2. S gear: Sport mode, where the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed to keep the engine at high RPM for a longer period, allowing the car to move at high RPM and low gear for an extended time. 3. D gear: Drive gear, used for forward movement of the car. 4. N gear: Neutral gear, used during brief stops. 5. P gear: Parking gear, used when parking to stop the car's braking system and prevent rolling. 6. R gear: Reverse gear, used when backing up. However, R gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is completely stopped. Engaging R gear while the car is moving slowly can cause severe damage to the transmission.
