Auto Stop question/help

[artkozak1]

Sorry if this was answered or posted in previous thread but I couldn't find anything regarding this.

I have a question about the auto stop feature. First, I have a CVT. Secondly, I'm roughly around 11k miles. It isn't really a question but wondering if others are experiencing the same thing.

This is what happens:

I slow down and come to a complete stop at a red light.
The auto stop turns on.
My foot is still on the brake.
The auto stop turns off without me releasing the brake.
Light turns green.
I release the brake.
Vroom

I'm asking if anyone else experiences this only because, as some of you may know, I haven't noticed this happening in my girlfriends CR-Z. Hers seems to auto stop every time she comes to a complete stop never shutting off prior to releasing the brake. Mine on the other hand, seems to have a mind of its own....at times the auto stop stays on until I release the brake and other times, it shuts off well prior to releasing the brake.

I'm experiencing this even when everything is off (i.e., defrost, a/c, heat, etc...)

Is this something I should be concerned about?

All opinions welcomed

I have the same thing happen. It seems random, too... I haven't worried about before, but may now! :concerned: Lol

What mode are you in when this happens? I don't think it is necessarily anything to worry about.. Computer is just making a logic choice based on current electrical requirements (lights on/stereo a blasten etc?) Yes, in effect, has a mind of its own..

Girlfriends CR-Z also a CVT?

It happens in all modes no matter if i have the stereo on/off or anything else. Yes, the girlfriend's is also a cvt.

its happened to me but its pretty rare and think its trying to maintain the auto temp

From the manual (for CVT):

■ Engine Restarts Even If the Brake Pedal is Depressed When:
• The shift position is changed to .
• Shift mode set in the L mode.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed.
• The pressure to the brake pedal is reduced and the vehicle starts moving while stopped on an incline.
• The IMA battery charge becomes low.
• The low temperature indicator comes on.
• The climate control system is in use, and the difference between the set
temperature and actual interior temperature becomes significant.
• The climate control system is being used to dehumidify the interior.
• The pressure on the brake pedal is repeatedly applied and released slightly.
• The (windshield defogger) button is pressed.

Any one of these true?

not one

If you leave your foot on the brake pedal and move around the car reaching for stuff, etc. you can vary the pressure on the the pedal enough to kick it back on. I do that all the time, you can actually just pump the brake a couple of times or sometimes if you put a little pressure on the wheel (like when you are turning around to get something from behind the seat) and it will come back on. Maybe that's what yours is doing?
