Hi guys.
New to this forum so hello
I've just collected a Mirage at the weekend and love it so far. It's a UK spec Mirage 3 so includes Auto Stop and Go and all the bells and whistles.
According to the manual (and my previous experience with the Colt, ASX and when I had a Mirage last year as a loan car all of which has AS&G) when you come to a stop (say at some traffic lights or in a queue of traffic), put the gearstick into Neutral, take your foot off the clutch and put the handbrake on, Auto Stop and Go should kick in and stop the engine.
Mine has yet to do this ... and it's definitely switched on!
The owners manual lists a dizzying array of situations when AS&G may not kick in; a cold engine; a low battery; if the climate control is still busy making the cabin the right temperature; if there's a high electric drain on the battery from accessories; if it's really cold outside; etc).
I'm just wondering if anyone else has found AS&G either kicks in all the time as it should, or if there are particular scenarios where they find it doesn't kick in?
Any thoughts appreciated. I've yet to take the car on a proper decent run out yet, so perhaps it just needs a good run to charge the battery to capacity and blow out any cobwebs; but at the moment I'm a bit worried AS&G is broken lol
Cheers for any insights
