Why Should You Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function on Rainy Days?

[McKingston]

Rainy days mean there is water accumulation on the road, which can easily lead to engine water ingress. If the auto start-stop function is not turned off in such situations, it can cause the exhaust pipe to be submerged in water, resulting in serious malfunctions. Relevant information about the engine auto start-stop function is as follows: 1. Introduction: The engine auto start-stop function automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving (e.g., waiting at a red light). When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. 2. Working Principle: When the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, and the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral, the Start/Stop system automatically detects the situation.
