So, what's going on here? Tonight I really tested it - pulled into the garage slowly, below 7 mph as usual. Car did not autostop, probably because I was riding the brakes, maybe pumping them, as I pulled up the driveway and squared myself to enter. Once in the garage, sat there for , oh, a good 5 seconds. No AS. Shift into neutral, bang - AS. It's either programmed to do that or it has something to do with unloading the engine...
