I always disable auto stop-start whenever I get ready to head out.
Generally I do the same. I have kept it in play a few times but usually turn it off. This is on my F150 KR. My Maverick is a Hybrid so it does not have the AS/AS.

I always disable auto stop-start whenever I get ready to head out. Whether or not it actually leads to premature starter failure, it is annoying in my opinion.
I just got my autostop eliminator installed the other day. I think it's asinine that from the factory it doesn't remember your last setting by default for each drive cycle. $100 almost feels like scam territory to not have to press a button anymore, but at least the wiring harness was high quality, lol.

No the hybrid doesn't have the AS/AS it has the HVB needs charging or just needs more torque 24/7 S/S feature. It will start/stop if HVB is at 40%+ every time you go pedal on/go pedal off.

Here in Florida I thought the auto stop didn't work because of higher engine and ambient temperatures. There was no rime or reason why it wouldn't stop the engine sometimes.
I'll have to try this "two step" trick to see if it works.

On the VW GTI I had you had to go into a menu to disable auto stop - pain in the neck. I found that if I eased up on the pedal pressure it would not shut the engine off when I came to a stop. Tried this with the Mav but it didn't work.

At least the Mav makes it much easier with a button you can push.

My Maverick is a hybrid, but the first add on we got for the wife’s Subaru was a stop/start stopper.

Someone posted that if you step on the brake twice before coming to a ful stop the engine won't shut off when you come to a full stop.
I tried it today and even though I had to stop at 7 signals the engine never shut off. It also seems to work when you modulate the pressure on the pedal.
