2012 Legacy auto start-stop not working


rapaki77

Recommended Posts

G'day all. I have just picked up a 2012 Legacy, which was imported into NZ from Japan just over a year ago. It's in mint condition and I'm enjoying driving it. It has an engine auto stop-start feature, (ie. when you're at traffic lights and stopped it will turn the engine off to save fuel) though it does not seem to be working. I don't have an owner manual for it and all of the ones I have found online are American and don't seem to have the auto stop-start feature. 

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on why it might not be working or troubleshooting tips?

 

Cheers,

are you sure?

 

though I've never driven any Subaru that new, the Ranger I drive for work has the feature

 

and it can be turned off, but always comes back on as 'standard' each time you start it (I read the manual in the glovebox)

Different I know, but just some random info. 
My partner's Mazda 3 has this feature, and it's very hit and miss when it works, I think there's a ton of conditions around when it'll turn the engine off etc, sometimes under harder braking it'll turn off, sometimes not on hills etc. 


But we always just disable it as soon as we get in the car. It's the most frustrating thing ever. Pull up to a stop sign, find a gap in traffic and go... wait no, engine has to start now! And now it's too late to pull into traffic and the gap has gone....

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
