How does the Start Stop on Nissan Note work?

Start Stop technology operation

Start Stop is a modern technology that began to be integrated into recent automobiles about ten years ago. This technology aims to limit the fuel consumption of your Nissan Note and to protect the environment by limiting CO2 emissions. Its usefulness is specifically important in an urban environment. In fact, vehicles can be made to spend up to 35% of their time at a standstill during urban journeys. The promise of start and stop on your car is to save you between 5% and 15% in fuel consumption. However, on long travels or secondary roads, its usefulness is limited. How it works:

  • A reinforced starter or a last generation alternator with integrated starter
  • When you shift into neutral and release the clutch pedal, the engine unit will shut off.
  • When you shift into gear, the car will instantly restart.

On some superior types, your Nissan Note will even have the ability to shut down while you are not stopped (up to 20km/h on some start and stop).
