Stop start function, not working...?

[zimbo]

Anyone else with an R56 with stop start ever had a problem with it not doing what its supposed to do?

i.e mine should be stopping when ever I stop and put car into neutral and raise the clutch pedal unless I press the button to stop the function altogether which I have not done. And the only other times it wont work is if the car (interior)fan is on. But mine seems to have not worked for a couple of weeks if I remember correctly and thought I would see if any of you guys had this prob before I take it back to the garage to have it checked out.

:rolleyes:

I know the stop start won't work if the aircon is on (sometimes) or the car is using alot of power obviously so the battery won't drain. It could be a battery issue or alternator worth checking both.

Its due to the colder outside temperature... mines has stopped kicking in as frequently too over past few weeks.

Experiancing the same thing zimbo. My stop start dosent work as often now and as baz said it's due to the colder weather

As above, I'm finding the same due to colder temperatures and having the heating/blower on full more of the time. The manual gives you some guidance on when the stop/start function doesn't operate.

It's in the manual hey, didn't read that, normally it's only woman that read the manuals (before your on my back girls it's what should happen) most men try (then fail) before going to seek the manual. Del did valerie tell you, or you admitting to reading the instructions first.:lol:

I still haven't read either of my cars manuals, I did look up the hill start assist thing because it freaked me out the first time it happened.

Blooming found out the Car played MP3 CD about six months after I bought the car, seen a picture of a Girls Dash when she was showing off her new car and asked her how did you get the song name up. :argh::argh:

so the CD went from 20 tracks to over 100 mp3 :thumbs up:


But my Stop-Start is doing the same.
