Why use that when we have Brake Hold?Should make no difference. If stopped for a long time i put in in neutral so i don't have to worry about keeping my foot on the brake. EPB can be used on slopes.
Because i had a brain fade, that's the button i use, not EPB.Why use that when we have Brake Hold?
I’d shift to neutral if I “expect” the stop is longer than 1 minute. If in doubt, I always shift the gear to neutral. I hate the pull feeling by the transmission and the “forced” slippage within the torque converter which definitely will generate more heat and increase the brake wear.When you are stopped in a traffic jam and idling is it better to be in neutral rather than in gear or does it make no difference to the motor?
Does anyone know how stop n´go works
The initial Skyactv Transmission technical/marketing info was that the transmission put itself in neutral when stopped with the brake applied(and the engine/transmission at operating temp, not on a hill etc) to save gas. It would reengage when the foot came off the brake but before you got your foot on the gas pedal. I think my 2013 did but not so sure about my 2020. My 2020 does increase the idle speed about 200 rpm when stopped at a light and the brake is released to be more responsive to the anticipated gas petal increase, at the same time I think it reengages the transmission...
From what I’d read on these initial document of SkyActiv-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission, it didn’t mention any of this either, transmission put itself in neutral when stopped with the brake applied. It only said the transmission uses lock-up multi-plate clutch in torque converter to transmit power at the speed over 5 mph, and the lock-up clutch will engage for every gear. This will reduce the slippage of the torque converter hence it achieves direct-drive feeling like the manual transmission and saves gas.First I heard of this...The initial Skyactv Transmission technical/marketing info was that the transmission put itself in neutral when stopped with the brake applied(and the engine/transmission at operating temp, not on a hill etc) to save gas.
