Hi all
I sometimes leave the CTR parked up for a couple weeks at a time. I have noticed the auto start / stop being disabled a couple times when I do drive it (I often turn it off anyway) and I think this is due to the battery charge being low. I have always left manual cars in gear with hand brake off to prevent seizing.
On these vehicles this is also possible: stop turn off engine without applying brake and it seems to me the brake remains disengaged. The question is; does that mean a constant draw on the battery, thus causing a more immediate concern to the battery health?
Help / advice appreciated
