Just wondering what people think about the S/S system?
Check out the below article:

Does the Giulia use a capacitor for the restart rather than battery? Also, does it smartly shut down at an optimised crank rotation position for restarting?
I understand disabling S/S when the engine is cold is best to prevent unnecessary additional engine wear. That was seems straight forward to make sense of.
When in the city and the engine/oil is at full temp, I don't mind the S/S. That said, I like my music playing, Sat Nav active and AC running, and would prefer that power to come from the alternator rather than the battery. How long could the battery run these systems for (headlights are on too)?
If the engine was off too long due to S/S and the battery was drained too much, would the Giulia know to fire the engine back up to get the alternator running again?
If any experts can help out with these questions it would be appreciated.
Cheers
