Forced auto stop is just a fancy acronym for shutting the engine off with the key - whether stopped or coasting.
It's called "forced" because the people who made it up mostly drive hybrids, which come with engine auto stop, but which don't shut off off under all conditions (thus some drivers were forcing it with the key).
