Default The Start/Stop feature STOPPED

I have actually gotten to like the Start/Stop feature that shuts down the engine at lights.

However, in the past two weeks it refuses to engage. It never kicks in. Not even once.

The weather here has been mild, nothing unusual, and the engine sounds fine.

Has anyone run into this?

Have you inadvertently disengaged it with the button just above the center console (left of parking assist)?

I found that as soon as the weather gets close to the freezing point or below, the Start/Stop feature stops and the engine never shuts off.

No, that's not it, unfortunately. The feature is on. But it no longer engages. We have had a wide range of weather in the past two weeks with highs up all the way into the 80s, and lows down to the low 30s. In a wide range of temps outside it makes no difference.

When it gets down to low 30s here in Chicago, my 2014 Audi A6 auto start/stop does not activate even when its engage. Its a feature to prevent engine damage in colder temps. Just take it in and get it reprogrammed.
