Start-Stop

When I was a cook in the National Guard, We were required to be license in every military vehicle in our yard. From the jeeps to 2 1/2 ton trucks, boy were they fun to drive too.

I must have been a dangerous guy on the roads, young ,innocent with the brains I had. No experience, they told me jump in drive the 2 1/ 2 ton truck, drove the truck around the park one time, ten minutes later I was license for every vehicle.
The “deuce and a half”
Looking back , that 2 1/2 ton truck was my first 4x4 I drove . We had a field exercise. At night too. I still remember that.

 

I've had Stop/Start in a few VW's and a Ranger. Worked perfect in the VW's. Taking off from a stop the engine was ready by the time I'd moved my foot from the brake pedal to the gas pedal.

My Ranger though...what a mess. What made me finally disable it was it's parking insanity:
1. Drive into parking spot
2. Press brake to stop
3. Engine turns off
4. Shift to park
5. Engine starts up
6. Turn off engine with key

 

Never realized parking would be a problem with the start/stop systems. Especially on the Rangers ?

Don’t they have a turn off button? I thought I saw this feature somewhere? Maybe not on all vehicles?

Start/ Stop will be coming to bathrooms soon, start the shower and stops for you. 1 1/2 minutes , saves water. electricity .

 

My ranger had the button to disable it. Was easy to permanently disable it with forescan.

 

The Ranger owners will thank you!

My 1999 Ford Ranger does not have the Start/Stop , but it “Stops” when it wants too! Automatically!

 

I think that's called Automatic Stop and maybe Start.

 

I think each manufacturers have there own terminology? Copy rights maybe?

Toyota “Auto Start & Stop” , says the “stop & start system” is , by default always on.
Yes.. you can say “Auto Start & Stop”. or “stop & start” . Both refer to the same thing.

In Hawaii we grew up calling this as “ shave ice”. , some call it “sno-cones” ,other “ice shave” or “shavers”. All refers to the same thing.

Toyota off road system is call “ crawl control”.
Ford calls there’s as “G.O.A.T” mode - Go Over Any Terrain.
Some calls there 4x4 always open diffs as S.H.I.T. ( See How It Turns))
