Video tutorial

In this video, we hear an authoritative opinion from a well-known YouTuber, a mechanic with a good following, who shares his views on the Start & Stop function in modern vehicles: it indeed provides excellent assistance regarding CO2 emissions. This system was used by Fiat as early as the 1990s with the Regata, and has since been adopted by manufacturers in more recent years to comply with emission regulations.

Especially if you live in a large city, it is very useful for reducing emissions. However, regarding engine health, it is somewhat less beneficial, as frequent starts can put strain on the starter motor and battery, which, although enhanced, can still suffer.
