2017 Mazda CX-5

The problem with the skyactiv diesel is it uses the starter to restart the engine when I-stop shuts it down. Unlike the gas models. So the starter really takes a beating. Especially on my route, the are a lot of stop and go. Sometimes I forget to turn it off. Only to be surprised that the engine already shuts itself off

Engine stop systems are made so vehicle companies can pass government regulations in some countries / regions ... and to have bragging rights about being fuel efficient ... Some countries give incentives, others require that the average fuel economy of all vehicles of a brand meet a certain standard, etc, etc ...

I just tried it today, I set the temperature at 18 which is the lowest set point.

I'm not used without seeing the ember light of i-Stop.

I don't know if it's a good idea to set it at a very low temperature. I suspect the compressor won't disengage as it has to reach the temperature and it will be impossible to reach it.

I was searching for my post and apparently I posted in the other CX5 thread haha

I don't have the CTEK battery conditioner, I know I won't be able to do that, too lazy and forgetful

But I'm planning to buy the CTEK Battery Sense to check for battery life. Is this a reliable gadget? Or is the ordinary battery checker (checks the voltage - don't know what you call it) good enough?

It took me a while, or a long time, to verify this. Just now, I experimented by opening the hood while i-Stop is ready to activate. Suddenly, i-Stop is "not ready".

Next time, if ever I'll be inclined to do it, I'll check the wiring connections and remove it.
