start-stop technology
When a car is stopped, the engine turns off and then starts again when you need it. It helps save gas and lower pollution.
Start‑stop technology automatically shuts off the engine when a vehicle is idling (e.g., at traffic lights) and restarts it when the driver releases the brake or presses the accelerator, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
