What is the function of the Magotan's auto start-stop system?

Auto start-stop helps save fuel when driving in congested urban traffic conditions. Principle of auto start-stop: When the vehicle stops moving due to congestion or at intersections, and the driver depresses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral, the STT system automatically detects: the engine is idling and in neutral; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. Auto start-stop conditions: The engine automatically stops when three conditions are met. When the traffic light turns green, the driver depresses the clutch, and the "start-stop system" can be activated immediately to quickly start the engine. In automatic transmission models, as soon as the brake is released or the steering wheel is turned, the engine automatically restarts, allowing the driver to press the accelerator and start moving immediately, all while remaining in D gear.
I've been driving a Magotan for three years, and the auto start-stop feature is truly a money-saving gem! In traffic jams or at red lights, the engine automatically shuts off, completely cutting fuel consumption. You wouldn't believe how much gasoline is wasted by idling. Each restart is quick and barely affects acceleration. Once I tested the fuel consumption: commuting with start-stop activated saved me nearly 15% compared to keeping it off, reducing my monthly fuel expenses by over 200 yuan. Actually, the system is quite smart—it pauses operation when coolant temperature is too low or when there's high demand for air conditioning. I recommend keeping it on in traffic to save a good chunk of money.
