Four Myths Debunked About Start & Stop

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, four myths about Start & Stop are debunked: the first is that this function drains the battery, as the battery designed for this function is different from a standard battery. The second myth is that Start & Stop consumes more fuel; in fact, the opposite is true, as this function was created for this purpose, and as technology advances, Start & Stop works better. There is also the myth that Start & Stop causes traffic; it is not the function's fault, but rather the people who misuse it and think only of themselves. Lastly, but by no means least, Start & Stop does not prematurely wear out the starter motor, as these devices are specifically designed for this use.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
