Start/Stop ...
RTFM today and noticed that there is a start/stop cancel button. Interestingly that seems to imply that the car has start/stop? I've not noticed it stopping, maybe need to pay a bit more attention.
On a more interesting note, if it has stop/start then it should have a lower CO2 and tax disk than it currently does... Will investigate .... |
If it's anything like the start stop I had on the A7 then you need to be stopped and keep your foot on the brake in drive for a set amount of seconds before it cuts in. I used to find it always cut out just as you wanted to drive off again and found it fairly infuriating. It switches the engine back on when you let your foot off the brake before you accelerate away. I used to turn it off regularly driving around own and use it mainly on longer journeys at junctions etc.

I engaged the auto park on a slight hill yesterday, both feet off the pedals, next thing I know its disengaged and started rolling forward. :tuttut: I've gotten a bit paranoid so I caught it before I did a low speed ram of the car ahead. So I think its a case of the idle being too high. (I thought all this sort of stuff was electronic?). |
I don't know mate it's too new and complicated for me but it sounds as if you’re not enjoying your 8 experience so far.

When I had one, you just braked to a stop, and then pressed the brake pedal a bit more to stop the engine. Silence is golden, but not sure it saves much fuel.
