How to deactivate the Start & Stop in the Ford Escape?

Model: Ford Escape MK 3 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this tutorial, we can see how to deactivate the Start & Stop system in the Ford Escape, an extremely simple and quick operation to be carried out, for example, in case we find the system too intrusive. First of all, let's go inside the car, then insert the key and start the vehicle. Next, we locate the button with an "A" circled on it placed in the central console, below the air conditioning controls, and press it. The orange "OFF" light turning on will indicate that the system has been successfully deactivated. However, this is not permanent, as the vehicle will always start with the Start & Stop system active.
