Does the ISG stop start function work on the Auto models?.
Gazza!!!

Can't think of any reason it wouldn't - it's even easier to use, just brake to a stop keeping foot on brake pedal - then engine stops and neutral electronically selected - release brake pedal, engine restarts and Drive selected.
Different car, engine and transmission I know - but I can beat the red/amber phase on traffic lights even using stop/start - ie, wait 'till red/amber shows, release footbrake, hit the accelerator and be moving before the green - it did take some getting used to, though.
Stop/start automatically disables in a variety of circumstances - cold engine, high aircon demand, low battery charge, trailer attached, etc.

Thanks, I only picked the car up yesterday and it doesn't tell you much in the hand book?.
I'll let you know when I find out?.
Gazza!!!

I've got the current blue drive Santa Fe auto.
Stop/go is fitted and cuts in more often than a manual car, when you need to be in neutral with the park brake on.
Press the brake firmly when stationary, leaving the box in D and the engine will cut, almost fully release the brake pedal and it starts again.
The engine will keep running if you select P, or of you leave it in D, set the park brake on and release your foot.
Auto hold function means you can release your foot without the engine restarting.
With the auto you'll notice the small lag between releasing your foot and getting moving, your driving will adapt to account for that.
Can't speak of the ISG system on the new dual clutch auto in Tucson/i40

Thanks Biggles,
That's a much better explanation than the handbook supplies. :)
Gazza!!!

Yes your explanation was smack on, it's almost seamless, I have to glance at the rev counter for conformation?.
Thanks. :P
Gazza!!!

I'm used to it in my wife's manual Mazda car, but it did surprise me in the Santy Auto.
You need a bit more anticipation if pulling from a side road into a small gap on the main road, or when pulling on to a roundabout. That's when I lift my foot part way to restart the engine.
I've now discovered you can move the lever from D to N without starting the engine.
I think the current car is terrific, very refined and terrific on a long drive. Shame it's so thirsty. My 2011 manual Santa Fe was much better on fuel.

I've had four auto Santa Fe's two being the new shape, the last three all averaged 33mpg, my 2016 2 litre Tucson did the same, my guess is my new model will do the same, I'll let you know?.
My daughter who is as my self an advanced driver says that I'm "to aggressive" and "should take the divers boot off my right foot" :rolleyes:
Gazza!!!

^ ditch the daughter :cool:

33mpg is about what I get. Typically 30 or just below in town, mid to high 30s on the motorway.
My 2011 manual was 33-35 in town, sometimes over 40 on the motorway, with a best ever of 50mpg on A roads.
I think your daughter may be mixing up aggressive driving with progressive driving! Nothing wrong with making progress. That's when Sport mode for the engine and gearbox is beneficial.
