If the auto stop eliminator was installed, just press the button and it will turn back on.
Good point. I just never turn my eliminator off. I can't even remember what it's like to feel the vehicle shut off.

So I bought my ST used with 9k miles. I've put about 800 on since owning. One thing I've noticed is I've never had the auto start stop feature work. I hate this feature so I don't mind. But is there a reason this feature has never worked? Could the previous owner before me have done something to deactivate it. I've searched all over the info screen and can't seem to find anything on it. I see the actual button though?
Mine didnt turn off my ST either for the longest time like 5 months.. But somehow something changed and now it turns it on and off. It was tied into one of the safety settings, like lane correction or some setting like that , but I thought I found some secret thing to make it never turn off again.!!! Until i turned off one of the safety settings.! LOL

Does having a trailer attached, 4 wire trailer lights plugged in, impact the auto stop?

Enabling Auto-Start-Stop The system automatically enables every time you start your vehicle if: • You do not press the Auto-Start-Stop button (not illuminated). • Your vehicle exceeds an initial speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) after you have initially started your vehicle. • You have stopped your vehicle. • Your foot is on the brake pedal. • The driver door is closed. • The interior compartment has cooled or warmed to an acceptable level. • The front windshield defroster is off. • You have not turned the steering wheel rapidly or you do not have it at a sharp angle. • The vehicle is not on a steep road grade. • The battery is within optimal operating conditions (battery state of charge and temperature in range). • The engine coolant is near operating temperature. • Elevation is below about 12,000 ft (3,650 m). • Ambient temperature is moderate. • The trailer is not connected. • If you select Normal, Eco, Snow/Wet or Grass/Gravel/Snow modes. • You are not in 4H or 4L. • You have not selected Manual shift mode. • Hill descent control is not active. • You have not selected Tow haul, Sport, Sand or Mud/Rut modes.
