I've asked this question before. My ST used to do the same in sport mode.

However just push the start/stop button next to the handbrake lever when in sport mode and it will work again.

I'm always in sport mode round town. It's handy for the odd traffic light gp (giving you full boost) and regens like mad when your off the accelerator. More often than not I don't need to use the foot brake. :D

Thanks for your reply ,

I do that also pushing the button ..... i was just wondering why it does it.

The motorbrake trough regeneration is awsome ........ i think i will never wear out the breakpads :D

So it’s sporty?

Stop start is an economy feature.

That is nonsense , start stop mechanisme only works when you are standing still.

So it has nothing to do with driving sporty or not :roll:

It most likely became a default because the auto/stop start were generally a bit crap, always with a slight delay when trying to set off quickly....but this one is seamlessly awesome....maybe something they will tweak in an update!
