How do you permanently deactivate the start-stop system in the Ford Focus?

Model: Ford Focus MK 4 - Years 2018-2025
Part: Checks and maintenance

The start and stop device, designed to reduce car pollution, automatically turns off the engine when the vehicle stops and restarts it when it starts again. If the user decides, as shown in this video, to deactivate it permanently instead of temporarily, they can connect to the vehicle's OBD socket with a PC and connect to the control unit, provided they have the necessary software, otherwise they will have to go to a workshop. All very simple, after the aforementioned connection, you search for the car model, select the start and stop feature, and disable it.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening.
