Will be interesting to see if it’s truly gone. I thought the engines were emission certified with it enabled.

I have been looking at the owner's manual for the MY21s and they do reference the auto start-atop feature as well as the hybrid system and coasting like the article talked about.
When the ASS doesn't kick in due to climate needs there is a message displayed in the IC. I would assume
rdwboulder2 would have seen that. I'm also assuming that he is not driving in Sport mode which would eliminate the ASS. It is odd that everything points to the ASS still being there but the engine does not seem t be shutting down. Then again, the owners manual says the start/stop button is there also but that is clearly not correct.
Hopefully we will hear from some others who have the MY21 40i to see what their experience has been.
