C7. Demonstrate knowledge of an automatic idle-stop/start-stop system. P-2

In automobiles, a start stop start automatically shuts down and restarts the internal combustion engine to reduce the amount of time the engine spends idling, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions. For example if you pull up to a train crossing, your vehicle will sense that it is idling and will shut the engine down. When it senses you depressing the accelerator, the engine will start itself and begin moving. I learned about this by paying attention in class when this subject was brought up.
