I’ll have to get used to it, same as start/stop always being active
You can disable start/stop with the button by the handbrake. Start/stop is off in sport mode but can be selected if needed. However as the car defaults to normal mode each time you start, I guess you'll have too knock it off manually. This must be to encourage the control of emissions when stationary.
There is a setting in vehicle settings with a tick box called Auto Engine Off. I've never bothered looking into what this is for.
When I picked the car up I turned auto start/stop off for the drive home as I’ve never driven a car with it before (made sure I knew which button it was before I went down there)
Will take it out when roads are quite to get used to it at junctions

Understood. You did right. Have some confidence that it's a brilliant system and works well. You'll not know it's operating soon enough.

I wonder if there's a setting in forscan to default the mode it is in... You'd imagine there might be?

Yes, auto stop start is so unobtrusive that it's almost instantly forgotten about. Under the old system the engine would restart when the clutch was depressed, the new system only kicks in when a gear is selected and is much better and seamless and the steering still works now...
Just go with it and save money and the planet (a bit)..
