Over the past few weeks I've noticed that the engine auto start/stop feature has been acting... Strangely...
It's been pretty inconsistent with functionality in the different driving modes. I've noticed that in eco and comfort the feature will not be active on initial startup and a cold engine (safety and engine longevity I'm guessing). When coming to a stop, I need to depress the brake pedal a certain amount in order for it to engage. When it's engaged, it can last anywhere from 25 seconds to 3.5 minutes while the pressure remains constant on the brake pedal.
I've come to learn that the feature is very sensitive to brake pedal pressure so I've started paying extra attention to when i depress it, how hard, how long i hold it, and how long the engine stays off. Has anyone else experienced the engine coming back on at what seems like random times?
By random times I mean, youve depressed the brake pedal enough for it to engage and then held constant pressure on it for it to remain engaged and then poof, it just comes back on without you moving your foot even slightly.
I've noticed that it's pretty inconsistent with how long it stays on, can't find a trend with it.
