I've noticed if I use my "ECO" mode for any length of time that when I return to "normal" mode that my stop start becomes unavailable. Dci90 1.5 manual Deisel.
Trying to figure out the logic here. ECO mode adjusts all the energy consumption to improve mpg. So the seperate battery that the stop start usesis starved ofenough power to make it unuseable. When returning to "nornal" the stop start becomes available again after its battery gets a decent charge.
My advice "normal" mode for knocking about, stop start working and helping on fuel economy. "ECO" for long runs. By the way I'm just completeing my first week of ownership and have managed about 325Miles at 61.7pg with a pretty much mixed usage. Max length of trip is up to about 20miles.
