When it is that hot (I live in Tucson) it won't stop. But when it is 85 degrees and the sun is beating down in through the windshield and it is blowing warm air, it gets annoying. There is a list of things that are required for it to actually stop. Ambient Temperature of moderate is all it says, and also cabin temperature is checked if it is sufficiently cooled (or heated). Defroster on will disable it, and coolant needs to be up to temp (which happens in 1 minute or less year around here).

I did not know that having the defroster on disables it, that would make sense, because it is always on during cold months just like air is on in warm months, I almost never have windows open.  Maybe that is my problem.  I will have to turn it off and see, thanks

I believe that when defrost runs that the ac is activated at the same time in order to dry the air.  This may explain why start stop doesn't activate with the defrost as an ac load is perhaps one of the things that deactivates the function.
