hey guys..
wanted to ask on this stop-start system in ur hybrids..
well, i read about the engine stops during traffic lights stop or traffic jam..
when does the engine stop when the vehicle stops?
is it instantly when the car goes to a halt?
or wait few seconds then the engine stops?
in which gear position the engine will stop? N or D?
When u accelerate then the engine fires up?
how fast the engine fires up when u go?

QUOTE(psyeo @ Sep 2 2011, 11:44 AM) It depends, normally the engine will autostop when you step on the brake and it will shut off the engine when reach 11km/h and below. (you can feel a sudden release like in free gear). In a start stop traffic situation, it will trigger the autostop if it is stationary for a few second Engine will autostop on D/S/N. not on P/R/L When you lift your leg of the brake pedal the engine will fires up or if it is autostop for more than 90sec, or if there is a sudden need of more power (such as usage of wiper and etc) so while travelling below 11km/h the engine will stop too? i thought only when u come to a complete halt? so when i stop at a traffic light or in traffic jam.. if i put into P/R/L then the engine will keep running? and if the engine stops more than 90 sec, the engine will fire up? so let's say i park at the roadside waiting for someone.. the engine will start back after 90sec? |

QUOTE(psyeo @ Sep 2 2011, 01:31 PM) to trigger autostop your leg need to be stepping on the brake (When coming to a stop), not while cruising or travelling below 11km/h.... if you put your car into P/R/L, yes the engine wont autostop. more than 90 sec* your engine will fire up. Assuming you park at roadside on D with your leg on brake pedal, yes your car will autostop and fire up after 90 sec* *optimum condition - Weather temp/ dry Condition, High Battery Charge Level, and etc. thanks for the info.. will the car have any long term issues if the engine keeps firing and shutting down when stuck in jam? maybe in the long run? some parts need to be replaced? |
