How to Disable the Start & Stop System on the Dacia Sandero

Model: Dacia Sandero MK 3 - Years 2021-2026
Part: Checks and maintenance

This video shows a method to disable the Start & Stop system on the Dacia Sandero: it slightly increases fuel consumption in the city, but prevents the engine from automatically shutting off at traffic lights. The operation is reversible at any time: open the bonnet and locate the battery. Find the Start & Stop connector, which is a small 2-wire electrical connector attached to the negative terminal of the battery. It usually has a blue clip or an identifying mark. Disconnect the connector, press the release tab, and gently pull the connector from its socket. Close the bonnet. A warning light will illuminate on the dashboard, and the system remains permanently disabled as long as the connector remains disconnected.
