Stop/start technology not happening!
Am I just being stupid as the stop/start technology on our V50 doesn't seem to function even with green light on switch lit.
Arrive at traffic lights, put on handbrake and into neutral--nothing. Thought engine should switch off? |

it should , but there is a list of about five things which have to be right before this works , if the temperature is below 0c is one of the factors which cut it off .
However remove the battery negative lead for 5 minutes , this will restore the operation , ( 80% chance anyway ) otherwise you will have to take it to the dealer ....
