Correct answer

  • ASí, y también la emisión de gases contaminantes.Yes, and also the emission of polluting gases.
Explanation

The Start-Stop system is a car technology that switches the engine off automatically when the vehicle stops (for example, at a traffic light) and restarts it when the driver wants to move off again. This reduces fuel consumption by preventing the engine from idling, which saves fuel and lowers polluting emissions.
