numerous issues with this one-
If you can get onto TOPIX you will see that there is in excess of 30 variables that impact on when stop/start will function or not. It's also rudimentary programmed to work about 90 seconds as another variable is ambient temperature and A/C fan setting.
some models 2015/16 have an issue with the gateway module not shutting down which causes a battery drain- battery drain is the primary variable for this system not working. LR issued a software fix for cars affected by it. This did not apply to my car.
For me it was much more simple- there was a mis-wire from factory where one of the systems was put on full power draw would drain my battery to the point I would get a warning. When this rectified, all is normal.
For me, the technology is pretty useless, it is only of benefit if you are at traffic lights for long periods of time or during slow traffic light cycling. For most of us in the big smoke we don't stop at lights long enough for there to be a benefit in terms of fuel saving.
by the time my car ticks off on all the variables It only works about 25% of the time I am on the road-
