Start/Stop Off – disabling the Start/Stop system in the ECU software
Software deactivation of the automatic Start/Stop system (Start/Stop Off) in the engine control unit on supported applications.
The system stays permanently off or is set to "off" as the default state after each start, depending on what the ECU software allows. The file is prepared for the exact software version.
