In start-stop systems, the internal combustion engine is shut off when the driver stops and the engine is seamlessly restarted when the driver accelerates, which lowers emissions and improves fuel economy. The voltage stabilization electronic control results in a smooth start, reduced engine vibration and a superior driving experience.
