Chipster Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 First off, Is it available yet? If so, then does anyone have it and what do you think of the feature? I must admit that this feature looks to me to become a maint. nightmare later on in the Edge's service life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Been used on hybrids for years with no problems. It's even on the new F150. It's designed to work that way with special components. You can disable it if you don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torquer Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Ford's stop/start is seamless, smooth, and harmless to the engine and drivetrain. It can make a decent impact to your mileage as well if you do a lot of sitting at stoplights. You'll barely notice it unless you have loud exhaust.

Foot on brake @ light then just apply pressure to the gas pedal to start it? How long must your stop be before the engine is stopped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) All I see in the manual is this: Automatic Engine ShutdownFor vehicles with a keyless ignition, thisfeature automatically shuts down theengine if it has been idling for an extendedperiod. The ignition also turns off in orderto save battery power. Before the engineshuts down, a message appears in theinformation display showing a timercounting down from 30 seconds. If you donot intervene within 30 seconds, the engineshuts down. Another message appears inthe information display to inform you thatthe engine has shut down in order to savefuel.

Vadimus Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Why isn't it available on Sport? 2.7EB has it on F-150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yes, but it is deactivated during 4WD operation & towing, I believe, from the presskit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadimus Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 So, as there is no way our AWD will switch to FWD only, auto start/stop is not for us Sport owners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
