How to disable the START & STOP on the Ford Focus at startup.

Model: Ford Focus MK 4 - Years 2018-2025
Part: Onboard computer

In this video tutorial, you can see how to disable the Start & Stop feature on the Ford Focus at startup, following a few simple steps that will guide you towards proper vehicle management. The Start & Stop feature turns off the engine when you are stopped at traffic lights or in traffic, and automatically restarts it when you press the clutch pedal and engage a gear. If you do not want to use the Start & Stop feature, you need to turn on the instrument cluster, start your car while simultaneously pressing the clutch and brake pedals; this way, the Start Stop system will not activate, and when you stop, the car remains on.
