Start/Stop in Winter
Hi,

Couldn't find this in the manual, but does the Start/Stop system stop working under a certain temperature? It was -14C here yesterday and it seemed to not work.

I don't expect it is directly linked to the ambient temperature as much as the engine temp (among other factors ) , but of course the low temperature you are having will affect the engine temp.

Start/Stop...No connection with weather temp...just make sure you didn't switch it off by accident...

It can be related to temperature in that if it is cold you are more likely to be draining power from battery to run heated seats etc and it is related to the battery charge amongst other things.

I know mine doesn't shut off when it is very cold. -21 F it didn't shut off once. Not sure what the manual says...

In my '17 GLC 4M USA spec I have noticed the "stop/start" function seems to be disabled until things have warmed up enough for the heater to start blowing warm air; nice!

I had not noticed that since I have created my own settings which I use each time I drive. That is great info. Thank you!

This may help:


The following is from the land rover discovery sport handbook and shows it is related to outside temperature:

The Stop/Start certainly stops working in high temperatures when the air conditioning needs to keep running.
