Show answer
Correct answer
- ACuando el motor está al ralentí.When the engine is idling.
Explanation
The Start-Stop system switches off the engine when the vehicle stops and the engine is idling, for example at traffic lights, and starts it again when you press the clutch or release the brake. This saves fuel and reduces emissions while the car is stopped.
