Auto Idle Stop Speed - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

Andyb · 11-27-2011, 10:11 PM

To maximize fuel economy, CR-Z has an Auto Idle Stop function. Under certain conditions, the engine will shut off when you come to a stop. One of the conditions is: The vehicle's speed is below 19 mph (30 km/h) and you are pressing on the brake pedal to come to a stop.
My question is:
Is possible to lower that setting to about 5 mph or to any desired speed?
(It is sometimes annoying to slow down to to make a turn and have the idle off and immediately on when gear changed or accelerator depressed).
Thanks

I would want to raise it so you can coast for miles!

Personally, I never use the 'auto-stop'feature.

Small town, mainly stop signs. The traffic light s that ARE there, I usually avoid.

In my experience with the car if you down shift to first gear, it wont auto stop.

Correct, no auto stop in first.

You can always kick the front defrost on for a moment if you know it's going to autostop on you and you don't want it to.

Assuming a manual transmission.

Leave it in gear, or down shift as you slow down, preparing to stop.

Just before stopping (7-10 mph) shift to first gear.

Mine won't auto stop at/below 19 mph unless coasting in neutral, which I don't do
if I anticipate accelerating again (instead of stopping).
