Start Stop Failure?

I Have noticed that the start stop function sometimes doesn't work.Especially this week didn't at all.
Should I take it to the dealer for checking it or wait for a little long?

Yes, you should get it looked at if it is not functioning correctly. Read the manual to make sure you aren't doing something wrong, is it something that can be disabled? If that doesn't work then get it looked at. Good luck. I wish we did have this tech here in the USA!

There are users here from all over the world here and some are lucky to have cool features that we can't get. In Australia they have a giant center tach in place of the speedo!

They do not have a giant center tacho in Australian Mini's! Have a look for yourself. http://mininext.carsales.com.au/Tig/...&tabID=2608268
What they do have is a much higher price tag!!!

Here in Greece, the price of the gas consecutively goes up.
Calculate 1lt =1.61 Eur=2.23 usd
So this Feature is now more than essential i think

Stater/Stop Feature, where the car shuts off while idling to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. This feature we do not have in the US, but the button we do since 2007. Big difference
