Everything was working properly at the dealer, but as soon as I left the dealership I noticed that the auto start/stop function was not working. I contacted the dealer again and they said that I should try it a bit more and she if it works when it gets warmer, otherwise take it back to them tomorrow.

Don't worry about it for now. Various things can prevent the start/stop system from working, engine too cold, outside air temp too cold, battery below certain amount of charge, etc. Mine has rarely worked since January, but does occasionally, normally on longer runs in warmer temperatures.
