Idlestopjärjestelmät
Idlestopjärjestelmät, often translated as idle-stop systems or automatic start-stop systems, are designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions in vehicles by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle is stationary. When the driver applies the brake pedal and the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the system intervenes and stops the engine. As soon as the driver releases the brake pedal or presses the clutch pedal (in manual transmission vehicles), the engine restarts quickly and smoothly.
These systems are typically integrated into modern vehicles, especially those with automatic transmissions, to enhance fuel
