06 stoplight-creep question
with my 04 HCH CVT when I am stopped at a long redlight and the 10 cars in front of me creep forward and leave a big gap I feel compelled to move up and close the gap out of courtesy to those behind me.
But when I do the auto stop does not come back on because I did not get up to some magic speed.
What is that speed?
And is it lower on the 06?

Hmmm... different for different years? With my 03, as soon as I take my foot off the brake, the gas engine wakes up. So there ain't NO steenking creeping!
I try to get away with "ignoring" the creep by pretending I'm cussing someone on an invisible cell phone.

The instruction manual says you have to go at least 8 mph with the '06 so NASA's figures are not surprising. Does shifting into neutral or Park engage auto-stop? I can't remember. It should, but it might not.

I'm not sure either whether putting it in park while the ICE is running forces auto-stop.

Hi Kenny:
___And everybody else reading this post for that matter … This is when you perform a FAS, pure and simple. If you have problems with it at 8 mph and under speeds, you shouldn’t have purchased a Honda hybrid in the first place! FAS as soon as you are creeping up on the ICE for those 5 car lengths and be done with Honda’s mistake. If you don’t, you are throwing away gallons of fuel per year.
___Good Luck
