1.
What is the advantage of this system?
The Stop/Start system aids in attaining better fuel efficiency of
your vehicle and thus reducing your running costs. However,
the
mileage
improvement
will
depend
upon
various
parameters such as prevailing traffic, driving patterns, etc.
2.
What are the other advantages of this system?
•
Since the engine is switched off during traffic signals/ jams,
considerable amount of carbon dioxide release to the
atmosphere is avoided. This reduces global warming and
thus provides us with a sustainable planet to live in.
•
Ability to restart the engine by pressing the clutch pedal
•
Reduces noise pollution at traffic signals
3.
Is it possible to start the engine through the clutch pedal for
the first time?
No, the engine can be cranked only with the ignition key for the
first time. If the engine is stopped automatically by the system,
only then it is possible to start the engine through the clutch
4.
Whether the system will get activated as soon as the engine is
started the first time with the ignition key?
The system will get activated only after the completion of
engine temperature dependent warm up period which may
extend up to 15 minutes. This is to ensure better performance
of the engine in terms of fuel economy and durability.
5.
Are there any safety precautions to be followed?
Yes, when the engine is turned OFF at traffic signals/jams with
heavy electrical loads like head lamp or AC switched ‘ON’. If the
duration of such stops are long, it is recommended to keep the
engine ‘ON’ and the Stop/Start system in ‘OFF’ position.
6.
What is to be done, if I don’t want the system to stop my
engine at traffic signals/jams?
The system can be turned OFF by switching OFF the Stop/
Start selection switch.
