Default Auto start/stop
IN other vehicles with this feature, the auto start/stop functions when the light is on. In my GT4, its the opposite, it shuts down the engine when the light is off. Is this typical? Also, when the PASM button is pushed (light is on), does that make it stiffer or more compliant? ECS/TC, sport exhaust, and auto blip are obvious..

TIA,

P.

The button is to disable AS feature so turning the button on (light on) turns off AS... confusing! For PASM, if light on it is stiffer. If road is smooth you wont feel it much but here the roads are horrible so it's quite noticeable.

Lights on if you want a hard edged, good old sports car. Minimal nanny intervention.

Except auto blip.

In BMWs, it is the same, when the light is on, auto start-stop is disabled.
