correct , there is a battery monitor between the Battery negative terminal and chassis .Not sure what component joins them , maybe a resistance wire or maybe it works magnetically . its very comprehensive in the data it collects though .

Exactly! Completely agree, in a manual box it's fine as you can control the stop start, so if you know you'll be sitting there for a while you can use it, and if it is crawling along you don't .. with an auto you get no choice and I really don't like it...
To be fair it was the same on my 5 series as well, I'd turn it off straight away, and then if was approaching a big queue I'd turn it back on again for that... bit geeky maybe, but I hate the thought of the engine constantly turning off then on again in a queue of slow moving traffic, it must do more harm than good...?! |

I did some testing yesterday as I was in a long queue of traffic. I found if I put the car into manual just before the car stopped (even if it was using autopilot) the stop/start did not engage but the auto brake did. If I left it in auto it would use stop/start once the auto brake came on. So for my car at least I can decide not to use stop/start for a quick stop by selecting manual!

Low battery caused it for me
I too lost start/stop. The car is 2017 spec - there were apparently software issues or whatever with the 2016 spec, but no issues reported on the 2017 spec. Eventually after a number of days with the dealer, they found that the car battery had never been fully charged. They recharged the battery and so far, 2 weeks later, the start/stop is operating correctly. Oh, and apparently to trickle charge the XC90, you need a charger costing around £450...your normal £14-£15 one from Amazon does nothing...

Just stating what was told me by the service manager...they had to buy three or so of them for software updates and for keeping cars in the showroom with power as customers opening and closing tailgates, playing with settings etc.

Perhaps he meant £450 for several?
