This tutorial shows how to disable the Start & Stop feature on a Subaru Forester, a very simple and quick operation if you find it too intrusive. First, enter the cabin, then insert the key and turn on the instrument cluster.

Next, locate the button featuring a circled "A" on the lower left of the dashboard, press it, and check that the relevant notification appears on the display. The system's deactivation is not permanent and will need to be repeated each time the vehicle is started.
