start stop - Toyota Yaris Forums

There is a big downside to the start stop system. Battery replacement interval goes down to about 1yr. So the minor increase in fuel savings turns into a big cost increase in battery replacement.

Reffering to the owner's manual the stop & start system will not operate if the battery is not fully charged or the engine coolant hasn't reach certain temperature.

In fact I think stop & start system would interfere with number of features such as journey time or reloading touch & go
