How to Disable Start&Stop in the Ford Fiesta?

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this short video, see how to disable the Start&Stop system in the Ford Fiesta. Start&Stop is the system that allows the automatic shutdown of the engine, and subsequent restart, during prolonged stops such as at traffic lights. This option can sometimes be intrusive, so the car is equipped with a specific deactivation button located at the bottom of the centre console. It is identifiable by the letter A contained in a semicircle, and a yellow LED will indicate that the system has been disabled. It is important to note that this setting is only temporary; the system will automatically reactivate upon the next ignition of the vehicle.
