What is the Auto Start-Stop Function?
1 Answers
Auto Start-Stop Function, also known as the Engine Auto Start-Stop System. Simply put, it automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as waiting at a red light) during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. The purpose of the Auto Start-Stop Function is to reduce emissions and lower fuel consumption during stops at traffic lights or short-term parking. Below is an introduction to the Auto Start-Stop Function: 1. The working principle of the Start-Stop System is that when the vehicle stops due to congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this point, the Start/Stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates there is enough energy for the next start. 2. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops. When the traffic light turns green, the driver presses the clutch, and the 'start stopper' can be activated, quickly restarting the engine.
