Unlock Hidden Mileage: Master Your Car's Idle Start-Stop System

• Modern cars feature an 'Idle Start-Stop' system (button with 'A' and arrow) designed to save fuel.
• This system automatically shuts off the engine when the car is stationary (e.g., at a traffic signal) and restarts it when you engage the clutch or release the brake.
• Benefits include 5-10% fuel savings, reduced carbon emissions, and a quieter cabin during stops.
• Use it for long traffic signals and normal city driving, but turn it off in bumper-to-bumper traffic, waterlogged roads, or on inclines.
• Be aware that the AC compressor may stop when the engine is off, affecting cabin cooling in hot weather.

Why It Matters: Properly using your car's Idle Start-Stop system can significantly boost mileage and reduce pollution.
