Auto start/stop feature

[19G70]

What models of the G70 have the auto start/stop function? It does not look like it is in the sport package for the 3.3T from what I can see as that panel on the console appears to be blank.

I believe only the 2.0 liter models have auto start/stop.

Is there anything needed to do to engage it? on the 10 mile or so test drive I did, I wanted to see it in action to see how rough it would restart after stopping. But the light seemed to be toggling itself to off, and I was never able to see it in action. I thought maybe the engine needed to warm up before the Auto Stop would work, but I think the drive we were on was long enough for that to happen.

Yeah, there are several conditions that must be met for the auto start/stop to function. One of which is for the engine to be fully warmed up, I believe... Here is a little video that explains the basics.

I assume that taking a slightly longer test drive might be helpful to be able to feel whether or not it's rough when starting/stopping?

Stops fine. Start is a little rough. The 2.0T is naturally a bit rough and unrefined during startup anyway!
