Depending on the bike but consider each gear for each 10 mph. If you're coasting to a stop, you gotta make sure to shift down each gear to match the road speed. Don't arrive to a stop and then shift down multiple times to get to first gear. Alfajiri_1776-1453 • 2 yr. ago. Practice, practice, practice. Go find an empty lot with some room on aEngineering Explained did a video on this using a Subaru start-stop system. At 4:25 he answers all your questions. The car is designed to do this. The "someone" is misinformed. Many (most) late model cars have this feature today. The button to turn off each time you start it is at your left knee (if left hand drive). The tiny little solenoid gets power when you start your car and opens, then the tank is connected to the pressure side of your engine oil. So it builds pressure and holds oil when the engine is running. When you turn the car off, the solenoid snaps shut. That tank is now pumped up at pressure and holding oil.
The digital dash said something along the lines of "Engine malfunction, contact service" (I remember specifically it did not state anything about the start/stop system). I was able to idle the car into a close parking spot where I put the car in park, and then I realized that the car was shaking pretty violently.
No, I loathe the damn thing. Especially on an automatic, it doesn't know if I'm stopped for a light or waiting to cross a road. At least on a manual it only shuts off when you release the clutch in neutral. I'll sometimes turn it back on temporarily when waiting at a railroad crossing or something. 38.
One exception would be using the parking brake to start a manual on a hill when the car doesn't have a hill-hold feature. You use the parking brake the to hold the car and release the parking brake while applying gas and letting the clutch out so the car starts moving forward without stalling or rolling backwards at all. When you come to a stop with a conventional gas engine, it will continue to idle, use up fuel, and produce emissions while you're stationary. Even with a stop-start system, when you take off againThat's the engine turning off at stops lights and whatnot. If you have the gas model you should have a button on the bottom of the dash, just above the cigarette lighter. If it's the hybrid you can't, it's effectively built into the system. I don't have this on my gas model, must be an option. Bought mine used last year.
Your concerns are justified. Every vehicle that has this feature, which causes the engine to shut off and then restart, will cause much more wear to the starter than a standard vehicle. Because in a standard vehicle the starter only gets used when you initially start the vehicle to go somewhere.
I have an unusual problem. Occasionally, the engine on my mower locks up and the starter is not able to crank it. I have to rotate the flywheel back and forth to free it up at which point the starter will engage and start the engine. It doesn't happen often but when it does, the starter won't budge the engine. The engine is an 18 HP Briggs Most normal cars have oil cooled turbos and after hard driving it's a good idea to leave it running for a bit so it can cool off. With the start stop systems, you could have been driving hard (highway) and then when you're on the exit ramp stopped, the engine stops. My guess is that also means the oil pump stops, which sounds really bad for the Start stop is only turned on when the engine is warmed up and under specific circumstances. There is no loss of lubrication in the short time the engine is off. There remains a film of oil for the short time the engine is off. Which protects the engine from wear at restart. From an engineering perspective (and this is what concerns me most) with the constant stop/start of the engine in suburban traffic, what detrimental effect will this have on the starter motor, and the engine components like pistons, rings, cylinder walls, bearings, etc, requiring oil lubrication and being shocked each time the engine restarts.
