2024 Crosstrek Premium disable start stop option?

[JSkier]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a way to leave the start stop option off as default on the 2024 Crosstrek? I've only had it for about a week, coupled with hearing complaints here about battery issues, and added wear and tear on the engine and CVT (plus, is it really saving gas, worth it?).

I have friends who have older models and went with the button and fuse inline option. However, I have the bigger screen on the 2024, and need to turn it off every trip. It doesn't look like this is an option for me, as it's all computerized?

Unfortunately . there's no way to leave it turned off permanently. It's programmed to come back on everytime you restart the vehicle, so you just have to remember to turn it off again, whenever you get behind the wheel.
