This saves money while reducing fuel consumption and emissions waiting at traffic lights or traffic jams. Good for the environment and your wallet.
How Does The Stop-Start Technology Work?
When you drive your car on a road and it suddenly comes to a stop, your vehicle's brake and pedal system immediately detects that there is a lack of motion. If it also detects that the brake pedal is pressed simultaneously, or the clutch is depressed, car is out of gear, the Engine Control Unit (ECU) cuts the fueling and ignition to turn off the engine. It’s automatic and needs no intervention. Though the system is automated, you can decide to turn the system off via a dash button with a symbol of ‘A’. The motors in such cars are generally fast, powerful, and robust than conventional electric start motors of old cars.
