Engine Standby When Stopped…?

[Dual Grenny Guy]

I switch it off but the other option when you stop is just don't press your foot as hard on the brakes. Then it won't operate.
If you want it to operate at the lights then just press all the way down.
Only time it is a problem for me is if at an intersection waiting to pull out into traffic.
I definitely don't want it to operate then.

I’ve been driving mine for months now and never knew the brake thing. Gonna test it out tomorrow. But in all honesty, I’m just like most on here, it’s simple & quick to just push one button each time you drive.

Forcing it to be pressed and closed constantly will inevitably lead to premature failure and no doubt an extremely expensive fix.

Hotwire?

Hotwire?

I assume it either switches a relay or just sends a signal to the processor.
Obviously it resets every time it powers off so it isn't a physical switch like a light switch.
Whatever solution needs to be momentary only.

Hotwire?

I use the finger on my left hand each time I start the car. Occasionally I forget until the first restart.

I used to do that.

I seem to recall this exact same conversation about 2-3 years ago.
I said at the time that when I climbed into my Mercedes I had a standard sequence of selections I did without thinking.

• Foot on the brake
• Insert the key and turn it
• Transmission into sport mode
• Suspension into dynamic
• Auto stop start off.

Now with the Grenadier

• Foot on the brake
• Insert the key and turn it
• Auto stop start off.

Ineos is far more advanced than Mercedes.
Two less steps
