Why? This start/stop causes just harm to the car, and has zero effect on the gas economy, maybe just the opposite. And it kills the battery.
It is just for regulation of CO2 emissions..

Start/Stop is a joke.
In one and a half years it happened less than 10 times.
Its so rare that when it happens I think I stalled the car.
If it is Summer its the cooler fault.
If it is Winter is the Heater fault.
In Spring and Autumm they use the same argument!!!

It is a fake addon.

It works fine for me now after the lockdown linited use of the car. I find it kicks in at every junction where I have to come to a standstill. It is not fake at all.

My stop start system on my RDesign T4 AWD works just fine. It works each time I drive, is very smooth and saves belching out fumes when I stop at traffic lights and the like.

Thing is, with current emission regulations and particulate filters, there is no 'belching out fumes'. I deactivate mine prior to every journey. Each to their own!

Stop/Start works all the time on my XC40, its smooth stopping and starting so I just leave it on now.

Mine's working fine now..and with stop start you don't have to keep knocking back into neutral when stuck at traffic lights etc for an extended time.

Now, after 1 year, battery shows 50% charge in VIDA test.
It will be replaced.
Maybe now Start/Stop will work.
Does anybody has problem with battery?

Be thankful! Many of us disable the feature on start up.
