This permanently disables the SS system with absolutely no effect an anything else.
I did this over three years ago and zero problems, the one thing I don't know is the state of the second battery, it could be dead flat by now for all I know.
I have considered removing the second battery entirely (saves about 15 lb apparently) but it's a real PITA to get at the rear mounting bolt(s) without ripping out half the plastic trim in the hatch so I haven't bothered.

I thought about that for a while but obviously came to the wrong conclusion. Since my system is permanently disabled the only time I see the yellow light is for a period of about 10 seconds immediately after starting the engine - and it then extinguishes. I assumed that the light was telling me that the ECO system was found to be inoperative.
So please clarify: those who do allow the start/stop system to work its irritating magic at every stoplight see the yellow light illuminated ALWAYS? - because the light is on if the system is operative?

I don't really understand what's so hard about learning to push just one more button when I get in the car, but others may find the things that annoy me incomprehensible.

2019 base manual.... my eco has never worked properly. The light is illuminated orange/amber at start up, but in the top left of my control cluster LCD screen, you see the ECO logo with a cross through it. It doesn't show all the time, but intermittently. When I come to a stop, whether in gear or not, ECO mode never shuts down the engine. The other day it did it once, and I freaked out because it's probably the only time its happened since taking this new one. What's more, after an over the air update to the software, I lost lane departure warning, and a bunch of autonomous safety features. Back to the shop. Super fun.
