Yeah but I'm lazy and don't want to do that every time I start my vehicle. ?
?
I push it every time I drive my F-150, it’s not so bad after awhile.

I really enjoy the Bronco6G site. I have learned so much insightful information.
Yesterday, I learned that a 32" tire is the tallest tire recommended for the 190mm axle. BD. Happy Holidays Members.

I have it in my Ranger and I'd always forget. So this was just easier to set and forget it. When I got my truck it was July so the ac was on all the time which kills the A/S/S. It wasn't until October that I realized how much I hate this feature.

Will be the same here. October/ November is when I stop using the car's AC until spring of next year. I still turn it on weekly to keep the system in good condition.

Sorry this made me LOL and I had to post it. Great idea though.Just plug something like an LED nightlight into the 110v outlet. It will kill the A/S/S and only cost you about $4.00. Been doing this for over a year now with my Ranger.
The AC - unless it is on MAX or the vent seats are activated - does not kill the A/S/S in my 17 Raptor . . . but I don't really give it much thought anyway . . . that's why, as mentioned, there is a simple button to deactivate.
You can usually turn it off. At least in so e vehicles there's a button that turns auto start on/off

I am unfamiliar with this feature. Is it a gas saving device and if so does anyone know what percentage of improvement it is supposed to yield?

I will be pushing that kill button on every single trip. Seems like a small annoyance, but part of the necessary pre flight checklist, same as radio, lights, wipers, A/C, seatbelts, RFID card to get out of the garage, etc.
If you don’t like it just add an auto start stop eliminator. You can still use it if you want but it remembers your previous setting. That saves you from pulling a fuse and having an idiot light.
But why spend $100 when you can spend $4.00 on a night light to do the same? See post #4.
