2022 Ford EcoSport SE – Auto Start-Stop Technology in Westbank

Most of us are used to the idea of an automatic vehicle that starts up when you put the key in the ignition, but with the new 2022 Ford EcoSport SE, you can also get a car that will start itself when you open your door and walk away. This feature is called auto start-stop technology.
The auto start-stop technology is designed for drivers who want to save money on gas mileage by shutting down their vehicles when they are not in use. This is especially helpful during traffic or stop lights, where your engine is not needed or is only idling. Considering how much fuel people waste every year by driving around with their engines on but their vehicles parked, this feature is a great way to ensure you are getting the most out of your gas tank and your time behind the wheel.
When you are ready to take off again after coming to a stop, you must tap your foot on the gas pedal and keep the car under 20 miles per hour—the engine will come back on immediately. If your vehicle is put into park with this feature active, it will not restart until you put it back into drive or reverse.
