Until yesterday most of my first 2 weeks has been in town driving. Yesterday went to the coast , 60 mile trip each way. During the drive I noticed the stop/start option was Off (small indicator bottom left of drivers ICP screen). On pressing the button to activate it, I got message Stop/Start inactive due to fault. After parking and returning to the car 2 hours stop start was working again.
In my XF the car would go through a DPF filter cleaning process on a log run and the stop start would be inactive. The F-Pace has Ad-blu and I therefore thought the DPF was kept clean because of this additive. Am I right in assuming the same cleaning process still occurs when on a long run and that the only real problem was the message (it could have said DPF cleaning in process not Faulty - more re-assuring for the driver)?
BTW small side note - 60 miles at average speed of 40mph and 41mpg return journey slower average speed but same mpg - and a lot more traffic on mostly single carriage way A21. Not as good as the XF but I'm hopeful it will improve as the car only have 450 miles on it so far!
