Duh that was easy, why would anyone unplug from the battery, when there is a switch . sometimes I guess it helps to read the manual. sigh

I think with the switch you'll have to turn it off every time you get in the car, but if you unplug it it's off for good.

I had to code mine off, even in "race" mode in my '19 the car would quit and unplugging things is not mah style.

And yes, you have to hit the stop/start disable every time you cycle the ignition otherwise.

I can tell you why. I use my car for deliveries and turn it on and off 40 times per day. It got real old real fast hitting that button that many times everyday.

how does the comfort mode create a softer suspension. Being that the suspension is a standard dampener, not an air suspension.

Strange question, but has anyone converted the to an air suspension on these vehicles? that would be my dream upgrade.

The DCC system controls the damper valves in the suspension. So instead of one fixed setting from the factory like most cars you have multiple to make it softer or harder for performance.

They do it because the setting does not stick. They have to keep turning it of every time they start the car.
Also, since you are reading the manual, in there it describes the conditions when Start/Stop gets disabled.

You live in San Diego. I couldn't think of a place in the USA where you need AWD less, lol!

In this car, AWD is more for GO than for snow.

Congrats on the upgrade

Stock tires are 235.
Go to Individual Mode, it will list the systems that DCC can change.
