Default Stop/start Traffic

Do you disable it in traffic? If not, how annoying is it and does it switch on and off quick enough to not be an annoyance?

I have only found it annoying if I am stopping to make a u turn. You will lose your power steering while the engine is off so I have turned the feature off a few times when I know I'm making a u turn.

I leave mine on pretty much all the time. With just light pressure on the brake, the engine won't shut off when it stops. In the case of U-turns, just turn the wheel just before the vehicle stops, and the engine won't turn off.

Yes, I quickly figured out how to control it with brake pedal pressure. Works great!
