Auto-start systems... can be installed on locomotives to automatically shut down and restart locomotives for fuel conservation and to protect critical systems. Locomotives equipped with auto-start will automatically shut down when they are idling for a set time and will automatically restart when certain parameters are met, such as when locomotive brake cylinder pressure falls below a prescribed level and when main reservoir pressure falls below 100 psi. However, the auto-start feature would be nullified if the locomotive is set to isolate, or if it has been shut down manually. 3, record 1, English, - auto%2Dstart%20system

Les systèmes de démarrage automatique [...] peuvent être installés sur les locomotives pour les arrêter et les faire redémarrer automatiquement par souci d'économie de carburant et de protection des systèmes critiques. Les locomotives munies d'un système de démarrage automatique s'arrêtent d'elles-mêmes lorsqu'elles fonctionnent au ralenti pendant une période pré-établie et redémarrent automatiquement lorsque certains paramètres sont atteints, par exemple lorsque la pression dans le cylindre de frein de la locomotive diminue jusqu'à un niveau déterminé, et lorsque la pression dans le réservoir principal passe à moins de 100 lb/po2. Toutefois, la fonction de démarrage automatique est annulée si la locomotive est isolée ou si le moteur a été coupé manuellement. 2, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20d%C3%A9marrage%20automatique
