I agree with the description...BUT...what carry's out the stop/start and what makes it available is really the question.There are circumstances in which the stop start SHOULD work but doesn't...then 10 minutes later it does. Hence why I think something is being charged, like maybe a second battery or something.I know on my BMW X5 the heating system had a separate battery.

That description sounds good but what do you have to do in the CVT to make the stop/start work. Theres no clutch to press!

Hi Mirandayou have to have the brake fully pushed down for the stop start function to work, but as I have said it all depends what equipment you have on in the car, things like sat nav and radio dont effect the stop/start function but if you have the blowers going and air con on then the stop/start wont work.any news on your car yet??Shelly

My previous car was a Mercedes Automatic...The Stop/Start worked as soon as reasonable pressure was applied to the brake and the car was stopped.In fact you had to just hover the brake if you didn't want the Stop/Start on at that particular point...well that was the game I played rather than pushing the button to switch it off.So in short, the Stop/Start came on very easily; it was difficult to prevent it.

I have found the stop/start works as soon as the engine meets the appropriate running temperature. You do not have to have the brake pedal pressed just the car in neutral (on non CVT cars) It can actually be a bit of a nuisance in short traffic queues as it keeps cutting out then starting again as soon as you press the clutch down, but you son learn to get the better of it. I am not sure how it will work with CVT as you are virtually in constant drive mode unless you flip the car into park mode
