Hi, is it normal the AC would shut off as you turn off the engine? I read somewhere it should stay on with the help of the mild Hybrid system.
Maybe this only occurs when you engage the start and stop function...
Any further info on this purpose?
Thanx in advance

Works with stop start... If the temp goes up the engine switches back on to keep the cabin cool should you be stationary too long.

The hybrid battery does keep it running in stop mode but at a much reduced rate. That’s how mine works anyway.

If we are in bad traffic it can get rather warm if the engine is stopped for a while.

Many options but I just move the steering wheel slightly to force start the engine and get the cool air running again....
