but then you lose the whole point of S/S, a lot of these stops are only a handful of seconds... what if they put 5 seconds of lag? The engine would get stopped right as you want to pull away at 6 seconds...Well … the S/S effectiveness can vary based on where you live. I take a slow back road to town … this route also avoids busy intersections and LH turns. At the first stop sign, very low odds of meeting a vehicle. But left on … S/S is going to kill the engine for the one second I came to a stop. Useless and annoying …
Should have some lag time built in ?
Better would be if a light pressure on the brakes would not activate S/S, versus a firm pressure. Or somethging like that. Some vehicles have this actually.
