Is there a way to turn off the Eco Mode permanently?

The dealer told me there is not but I don't believe him.

Help anyone?

In 2014 there was a Eco button to turn off. Do you have that in the 2015? When The 2014 Evoque came out I was told the 2015 model's Eco mode was going to be permanent.

not aware it can be turned off permanently. You can turn it off but the button on the dash but automatically resets to on when you restart the motor.

Probably a way to do it thru the ECU.

Isn't there a fuse to pull or back up battery to unhook to disable the Eco?

I have the same question... did any of you pull the fuse or disconnect the backup battery?

Did it work?

Why do you want to disable it? What harm is it doing?

Already beat to death in the 405 and 494 sections. Some folks are too lazy to press a button. Many folks with the first gen of this system had issues with being left dead when lights change or stranded with a locked transmission. Face it, for an Evoque the gain is minimal at best especially if you stop to think about the added wear and tear on the starter and lubrication systems.

I have disabled stop start on a 2015 disco 4 by disconnecting the aux battery, found that info on here. But it does leave a warning on the dash permanently. LR introduced it to reduce emissions so they don't want people messing with it............. VW scandal?? It's a very sore subject at the moment.

I remember when the air pumps, egr's and emissions systems first came out. Everyone was cutting belts, plugging off vacuum hoses and reeming out catalitic converters. The start stop technology is just another phase. You may as well accept it and move on.

OKay papa, you can give it a rest. THe topic is how to disable the system, not the benefits or acceptance of it. The OP wants to know HOW to disable the system, not why he shouldn;t. HOW has already been answered. We need not beat the dead horse of tree hugging perceptions or minimal gain for such a system on a four banger or 6 cylinder.

Hi Rivers,

Have a look at this link --https://www.evoqueownersclub.co.uk/forum/22-modifications/7055-disabling-eco-stop-start-safely.html


It should sort the problem with no silly messages.
