Warming up stages can't be discussed without coolant temperature reference using some instruments such as ScanGauge.

Ken & FastMover, after repeated testing, I found the battery SOC is indeed the factor that changes the behavior in Stage 3. If the SOC was normal or low the ICE will only shut off when coasting > 35mph. However, if the SOC is one bar over normal, the ICE will shut off when I start coasting at speeds below 35mph. I was able to repeat this many times over the past few weeks.

HOWEVER one morning (2nd test), the ICE would shut down coasting at any speed < 41mph. I was surprised and was able to replicate it twice. Why did this only happen one time out of three mornings???!!
