#1 of 3 Honda Insight Auto-stop by rookie60 Oct 28, 2009 (3:33 pm)
I have a 2010 Insight. The auto-stop is a joke. Half the time it does not even shut off the engine at a stop light. However, when it does shut off the engine at a stop sign, it only does it for about 30 seconds. Then the engine restarts. Is this normal? Do I have to bring it into the dealership to have something reset? Any comments out there??? Replies to this message: galileo5 (Oct 28, 2009 4:45 pm) rookie60 (Nov 02, 2009 3:43 pm)

Replying to: rookie60 (Oct 28, 2009 3:33 pm) It stops for 30 seconds or not at all only if you have the AC on. If the AC is off, the auto stop remains until you release the brake. Yes, this is normal. Daniel Replies to this message: rookie60 (Nov 02, 2009 3:43 pm)

Replying to: galileo5 (Oct 28, 2009 4:45 pm) Thank you. That is the first time someone explained it properly. However, it seems that if the heater is on, the car still does not shut off. It does say AC off on the display. With no accessories on, the motor does shut off for good. Thanks again.
