Feature request: Auto Start-Stop
Posted: Fri May 23, 2008 1:30 am
This is a feature available on the Mini Clubman
I was wondering how difficult and if possible to add such feature to the Microsquirt.
Auto Start-Stop
The new Auto Start-Stop function on all manual gearbox versions of the MINI Clubman serves to effectively reduce fuel consumption and emissions while the car is standing still. Whenever the car comes to a stop, Auto Start-Stop automatically switches off the engine as soon as the driver shifts to neutral and takes his foot off the clutch pedal. To re-start the engine, the driver presses down on the clutch pedal again, and the engine re-starts automatically and immediately.
Auto Start-Stop serves to optimise fuel efficiency in city traffic. The consumption of energy and the generation of exhaust emissions are reduced to zero in a very simple and straightforward process every time the car comes to a stop.
