How it works:
* Sensors: The system uses sensors to detect when the car is stopped and idling.
* Engine Shutdown: When the car is stopped, the engine automatically shuts down.
* Engine Restart: When the brake pedal is released or the accelerator is pressed, the engine automatically restarts.
Benefits of Automatic Start-Stop:
* Improved fuel efficiency: By shutting off the engine when idling, it reduces fuel consumption.
* Reduced emissions: It helps lower exhaust emissions, particularly CO2.
* Reduced noise: The engine is silent when it is shut down, which can be more pleasant in urban areas.
Not all cars have this feature. The availability of automatic start-stop varies by manufacturer and model. You can check the specifications for a particular car to see if it has this technology.
Some cars may allow you to disable the feature. This is typically done through a button or setting in the car's dashboard or menu.
