I guess itīs the temperature? Has been below freezing all this time.

Useless feature, if you ask me.
Start/Stop shutting down the engine depends on various things, like driving mode, movement of the steering wheel, etc. If you're at a standstill but keep fidgeting with the steering wheel it will not shut down the engine.

But to your point the programming might also be different on cars sold in colder climates.
