If you are parking your car into a spot and like to turn on the "echo-location" feature, as I call it, when you are unsure how close you may be to a large curb, be mindful that when you reach down you actually do press THAT button, and that you do NOT put yourself into comfort mode. Otherwise, as you slowly creep forward, you will look around in bewilderment for several seconds wondering why your car has "died" when it auto stops for "no apparent reason."

And, you will probably be late to work when this happens and not have patience for this sort of silly thing.

Worse yet, there may be someone nearby able to see you looking around like a moron mouthing "WTF?" to yourself until you note what mishap you have caused in your moment of idiocy. Then you will give yourself a defeated "Oh" and move on, hating comfort mode and auto stop even more.

That's odd because it is my understanding that the Auto Stop feature is not supposed to activate when you're parking, i.e., when the proximity sensors detect that you're so close to other cars. Maybe it was confused because you switched to Comfort mode while parking.

I'm confused. I have the auto stop start turned off. The only mode it works on is Eco Pro. When in Comfort mode it defaults to off because I turned it off when I bought the car.

Yes, my brain was still annoyed... I should have said out of comfort mode into eco pro.

As for the sensors, I have no idea. There were no other cars nearby, just the curb, which it doesn't always pick up. Mind you, it's a high curb I would run the bumper into, but that's for another day.

Well I am usually one of the first people to work and found out today that when you put your car in reverse to back into a spot and open the door to give the curb a quick check the transmission throws you into Park the moment you open the door. I hope this can be coded out, because don't tell me how to drive dammit.

If you keep your foot lightly on the brake, it won't go into park.

It most definitely works in Comfort. It is annoying when I park into my garage and slowly pull forward, that if I brake, it will sometimes turn off, I suppose, thinking that's where I'm going to stop. I will sometimes put it in Sport just to park so as to avoid this, but it's mainly just a minor annoyance I deal with.

Yes it works if you dont turn it off. If you turn it off while in confort mode the next time you start your car it will default to off in comfort mode.
