Stop-Start, Auto-Hold and Speed Limiter
Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2021 9:05 am
I know this is covered in at least one other thread, but the discussion there has deviated somewhat at times, so I've started this thread to concentrate the issue.
I'm in correspondence with Volvo Customer Services re: the issue that has already been identified on this and other forums viz:
Given that I use auto-hold and speed-limiter as a matter of course, I find this inconsistent, illogical and frustrating (as at least a few other people apparently do).
As others have reported it, it isn't an issue peculiar to my vehicle, and I wonder how widespread it is, and the level of frustration in those that have identified it (until you realise the symptoms are consistent with the use of the speed-limiter, it can appear that the stop/start with auto-hold function is rather random).
If anyone would like to confirm that they have the same issue (and particularly if they find it as irksome as I do) it may help me progress it with Volvo if they could respond, and I can point Customer Services to the resulting responses.

- Stop/start functions as expected (brake to a halt, engine stops, removing foot from footbrake causes engine to restart)
- Stop/start with auto-hold functions as expected (brake to a halt, engine stops, removing foot from footbrake does not cause engine to restart, restart requires use of the accelerator)
- Stop/start with auto-hold and the speed limiter engaged does not function as expected (brake to a halt, engine stops, removing foot from footbrake causes engine to restart, rather than requiring the use of the accelerator as above)
