Looking at purchasing 2.5 L petrol CX5. I have a few queries. Can the auto engine stop at traffic lights be disabled?
I have heard that they use a separate battery for the auto start and the battery has a life of about 2 years and the battery cost is around $900. Is this correct?
The amount of fuel the auto stop saves, and emissions lowered I believe is a load of crock

 

I dont think that is enabled on the US models as of 2019, although it is enabled on my A4, which has a manual disable. You have to manually disable it every time you start the vehicle (and thats required to get credit for the regulatory energy savings).

 

Battery is covered by the 5yr warranty
