What is the purpose of the letter A symbol on a motorcycle?
The letter A accompanied by an arc arrow indicates the on/off status of the Idling Stop feature on the scooter.
For scooters, Idling Stop is a technology equipped to temporarily shut off the engine when the vehicle is not in operation. With this feature, if the scooter is inactive for 3 seconds or more, the technology will activate to temporarily turn off the engine.
The indicator that Idling Stop has been activated is the letter A with an arc-shaped arrow surrounding it on the screen, which will light up until the vehicle resumes operation.
This is a very useful technology for scooter users, especially those who use scooters in crowded city streets with many traffic lights.
When Idling Stop is activated, the car will automatically shut off at red lights. When the traffic light turns green, simply lightly press the accelerator and the car will automatically restart to continue your journey.
Fuel savings are the first benefit that Idling Stop offers users.
Protect the environment by minimizing emissions and engine noise when the Idling Stop mode is activated.
When Idling Stop mode is activated, the vehicle will temporarily enter a state of rest, the engine will run smoothly, and there's no need to restart the engine when you need to move again.
Notes on usage
To turn the Idling Stop function on or off, use the on/off switch on the right-hand control panel.
Idling Stop will be activated by the vehicle's central processing unit (ECU) when the vehicle starts and runs for the first time, reaches a speed above 10 km/h, and the engine temperature exceeds 50 degrees Celsius.
If we lower the side stand while the engine is off using Idling Stop or switch to Idling Stop mode, the function will be disabled. To restart the engine, we will have to use the starter button. If the coolant temperature is too high (the Fi light or temperature warning light comes on), or if the electronic fuel injection system is malfunctioning, Idling Stop will not work.
Idling Stop is a technology found in cars and commonly in newer scooters. This technology is designed to reduce the amount of time the engine runs while the vehicle is stationary or stopped at a traffic light. The goal of this technology is to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by shutting off the engine when not needed.
With Idling Stop technology, when conditions permit (for example, when the vehicle is stationary and there is no signal indicating the need to move), the engine will automatically shut off and then restart when the driver presses the accelerator or any other movement is required.
