If you find it annoying that the start & stop system is not permanently disabled and reactivates every time you switch off and restart the engine, follow this guide. We will discuss how to do this in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

First, locate the car battery; it is not in the front bonnet or the boot but under the passenger seat. Slide the seat forward, then remove the mat, open the compartment, and find the car battery.

Now, disconnect the start & stop sensor. Keep in mind that the warning light will remain on the car's onboard computer.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
