Stop-start system

52%
A stop-start system is an automatic system designed to reduce fuel consumption. combustor,hybrid Function Depreciation Environmental protectionA stop-start system automatically switches off the engine if the vehicle is stationary, in neutral and the clutch pedal is released. The engine re-starts on pressing the clutch. On vehicles with an automatic gearbox, the engine is switched off automatically as soon as the car comes to a halt with the brake pressed. Re-starting takes place…

Cooling (engine cooling)
