adetheheat Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi I have a mondeo 1.6 tdci eco zetec that I got at the weekend second hand. it seems to have the start /stop thing - it's in the manual plus there is the 'A' button on the dashboard. I haven't been stuck in bad traffic yet but the start stop thing hasn't worked so far - although I have stopped afew times at lights or minor traffic delays. is that to be expected ? There's no warning lights saying it's malfunctioned, the 'A' button doesn't have 'off' showing. Do I just need to be a bit more patient whilst waiting for it to work ? regards Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Stop start is quite fussy and will only kick in when a long list of parameters are met. The main ones are the electrical load, A/C load and battery level. It might just need a run to charge up the battery before it starts working if it has been sat around or doing short journeys.

skittle Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi there Ade, I also have stop start. I know for a fact that my stop/start wont work for 2 reasons..... 1. if the battery isn't fully charged 2. if the cabin temp is set Hi, it wont work until the temp as been maintained. when I bought my car (2nd hand dealer) my stop/start didn't work until after a 40 mile run on way to work. Just take it for a good run mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
