The Smart Idle Stop System or SISS, is a system that’s able to automatically shut down the engine of your car while you’re at full stop. It’s able to achieve this through the use direct injection technology. Once the system detects that the car hasn’t been moving for quite some time, it shuts off the engine and quickly starts it once the driver starts to continue driving. This keeps the drivers from manually shutting down and then turning of their engines during this type of traffic.
So how is Mazda able to automatically start the car’s engine with this system? Through the help of combustion. The Smart Idle Stop System ensures that the engine’s pistons are properly in place and that they have complete and precise control over them. The SISS index each of the engine’s cylinders and starts the fuel injection process even before the engine rotates. The fuel is coursed through the cylinder which then triggers the downward piston force. Through this process, the engine is able to restart in just a mere 0.35 seconds.
What’s fascinating about this system is that Mazda has worked on making sure that the vehicle running on the SISS won’t encounter any type of delays during restart. This ensures that you won’t end up staying idle and causing traffic while waiting for it to restart.
So if you feel that your Mazda might be consuming too much fuel daily, then keep an eye out for the Smart Idle Stop System, which Mazda will have ready by next year.
