2022 Chrysler Pacifica – Engine Stop/Start (ESS) in Trout Creek

The 2022 Chrysler Pacifica has a standard Engine Stop/Start (ESS) feature. The ESS feature allows the car to automatically stop and start the engine when parked to save fuel. The engine stops when you have come to a complete stop and then starts up again once you begin driving again.
The 2022 Chrysler Pacifica ESS feature can be turned on or off by pressing the button on your steering wheel. If it is turned off, your vehicle will continue to operate as normal with no automatic engine stopping or starting features. The engine restarts quickly, so there is no need to worry about the car stalling or starting up suddenly.
This technology has been around for decades and is slowly making its way into mainstream vehicles. The idea behind it is simple: when you come to a stoplight or stop sign, the engine cuts off and restarts once you start moving again. This helps improve fuel economy by reducing unnecessary idling and saving wear on the starter motor and battery.
This can improve fuel economy by up to 20 percent and reduce emissions by about 10 percent because your engine does not idle as much while idling at traffic lights or sitting at a red light or stop sign waiting for traffic ahead of you to clear.
