The auto start-stop symbol is a circle with an A inside and an OFF sign below it. Engine start-stop refers to a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving, such as at a red light. When the car needs to move forward again, the system can automatically restart the engine. Here are some related details: Features of start-stop technology: Basic start-stop technology automatically turns off the engine when the car encounters a red light or traffic jam. The engine promptly restarts when the driver releases the brake pedal or presses the clutch (or accelerator pedal). More advanced start-stop systems also feature brake energy recovery, which can convert part of the braking energy into electricity to charge the battery. Function of engine start-stop: It is used when the car is moving at low speeds or making repeated stops. It can automatically shut off the engine to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption and reduce idle time. Less idle time means reduced engine carbon buildup, which benefits both environmental protection and engine lifespan.
