The button with the circle and arrow around the "A" will enable/disable the stop start.

Same here no issues and its always left on. Only found out what it did when I was twiddling with the buttons when first got the car.

i absolutely hate this feature but only because where i am from it's a constant move, stop, move, stop, move, stop, move, traffic light, move, traffic, move, stop. so i also just press the button every time i get in the car. (i'm not sure so much start/stop the engine can be good for the starter motor.)
i asked at the dealers if it could be disabled via software option on their system and the answer is NO
. now having the button constantly jammed with a toothpick i am not sure if it'll work. but i wouldn't wanna do that either i think :/ not on such a car. if it was a cheap car i probably wouldn't care lol

Doesn't the D5 have a separate stop/start battery? If it did, posts on disco4.com suggests that for the later D4 models stop/start doesn't work when that battery is flat. In which case, I'd take that battery out

You will find that it soon realises you are in very slow moving traffic and the car will stop 'stop starting' well that's what mine does. Say after 4 or 5 stop start cycles over a short distance the stop start stops.
Remember that if the system detects low battery or you are using lots of electrical power the stop start will stop. For instance when the stop start has stopped the engine stick your aircon to max I bet the engine will re-start immediately.
Just ignore it you won't even know it's there -

Please take this as info I was told by someone else, but from what I understand from talking to a friend of mine who is a LRJ tech, with the new D5 they switched the assembly for this from a battery power source to a capacitor, and the capacitor is quite a intrical part of a complete control unit for this so its not just as simple as disconnect the battery and the car will not shut off any more.IndusD4 wrote:

Probably someone who is determined enough could backward tech this an perhaps find a way to disable, but according to him by looking at the unit, he said it might not be to easy.
Also one thing I keep hearing about these cars is as so much of the computer systems are all intertwined, all kinds of odd things can happen when you start taking stuff out of the system.
I asked about perhaps just disconnecting the powered rear hatch rods as I measured out for where the car would sit in my garage and how far/high the hatch opens and for sure it would hit the inside of my garage door frame and part of the door.
Yeah I know it can be programed somewhat for a certain height, but if that ever fails I could have a nice scuff on the tail gate, plus also to for how far it would not go up, now I have make sure I bend over far enough not to keep hitting my head on the inside of the gate.
Anyway, when I discussed this with him and even brought up it probably would be OK as the bottom baseline model does not have a powered gate, he replied yeah, but if the model is programed to have it, you could disconnect it but you never know what that will do and it could make you windshield wipers stop and your CD player play ever other song or something.
All in all I think he was being over dramatic by saying it that way, but by intent to stress any number of odd things can happen and you just never know what they might be. -
