I'm probably going to get shot down in flames for this but I have to wait between 10 & 20 mins for them to come out of school and due to illness do not tolerate cold or getting chilled very well. I will add that I do feel guilty when keeping the engine running.

You're on a phone? You might be able to read all of this better on a nice big screen.
I can't quote the OP saying the heating is on?
I'll paraphrase - the OP wants to stay warm and doesn't want the engine to shut off whilst doing this. The heater must be on if the OP is staying warm. How is it not? How can you be arguing that the OP never 'said' they had the heater on - they're trying to stay warm!
because they never said it did they? And thats the point. You cant just decide to make things fit your arguement.
your red..... from post 259.
its clear in the OP's post they DID SAY!!
how many times are you going to be wrong?0 -

They didnt say. Youve even quoted then not saying it. How can you not see that? The words "the heater is on" or variations of that are not present. At all.0 -

But we've covered that off
When using stop start, and the car has stopped -
IF the heater was previously on, then the car will use latent heat from the heater matrix for as long as it can, afterwhich the car will restart.
IF the heater was not previously on, and you put it on, the car will restart to enable it to build up the required heat in the heater matrix.
To which you seem to replay "no thats not how it works"?
So how does it work for the two scenarios?
Why cant you just answer that - other than either (a) you'd have to agree with us or (b) you know you're wrong?0 -

Every time. But he'd rather avoid, distract or come out with some banal dross to not have to admit it.0 -
Stop being such an !!!!. The OP has a medical condition that means that they don't tolerate the cold.
To suggest that they have driven to the school, in winter, without any heating on in the car, and only want to put it on when they are waiting, all to try to justify your stupid argument is pathetic in the extreme.0 -

so she was informed it stays warm when the stop part of stop start is active, and will restart when the temp gets low to provide toasty warm heat.
you said it don't work like that!0
