Many thanks - should have realised the battery symbol wasn't there when the phone wasn't in the car! Will have to look up the safety settings stuff. I understand the stop-start principles, it's just the exact system logic is defeating me. I know it's not good for traffic lights, it's lengthy queuing in traffic that needs it sometimes, and I find it weird that sometimes I can put in park and the green "brake to re-start" is showing, other times the engine just re-starts itself as soon as the foot-brake is relaxed. I'll try the "neutral and handbrake" option instead.

Apologies for double post - newbie on this forum - can't see where to delete it! Recently acquired September 2015 Octavia Estate "Business" trim - can anyone enlighten me about some things which don't seem to be referred to in the manuals: 1) A small battery symbol is sometimes showing on the top bar of the info system screen. It's not always there, and is currently showing red (almost empty) despite 2 reasonable (1 hour) runs yesterday. Presume this is a battery for the info system not the main car battery? Also, why is it run down? Should I turn the info system off when the car is parked? 2) a rocker switch on the RH side of the steering wheel has the phone connection at the bottom, but what is the symbol at the top that looks like a car being shaken ? Doesn't seem to do anything.... 3) the auto stop-start is great but I cannot figure out what the logic is when it's worth putting the (auto) transmission in park, rather than keeping my foot on the brake. Sometimes the engine stays off but other times it restarts as soon as I release the brake pressure and I cannot figure out the system logic (e.g. "keep your foot on the brake until it's been in park for 1 second" or something like that). Thanks Steve
