I did watch the displays on e-assist where it shows power storage and whether you were storing power or using it. I've also driven a hybrid Malibu where the A/C actually shuts off if you stopped for too long. E-assist didn't do that but I'm thinking start/stop would. You mentioned it could be turned off. Is this a user interface or via tune?
