Land Rover Auto Start/Stop Memory Activation
Keep your last selected Auto Start/Stop preference after restarting a compatible Land Rover or Range Rover. The memory activation preserves the driver’s choice instead of automatically resetting the setting at every ignition cycle. Compatibility is verified by VIN.

What Auto Start/Stop Memory does
On many Jaguar Land Rover vehicles, the Intelligent Stop/Start system is enabled again when the ignition is switched on, even if the driver turned it off during the previous journey. Auto Start/Stop Memory changes this behaviour so the vehicle retains the last setting selected by the driver.
If you switch the function off, it remains in that selected state after the next start. If you switch it on again, the enabled state is remembered in the same way. The activation preserves a choice; it does not remove the original control or force one permanent state.
Memory function versus permanent deactivation
This service is described as a memory activation, not a permanent delete or hardware bypass. The factory control remains available, and the driver can change the selection using the vehicle’s normal interface or button. The remembered state then becomes the starting preference for the next ignition cycle.
Key behaviour
The last driver-selected Auto Start/Stop state is retained
The original on/off control continues to work
The driver can change the preference again at any time
No physical bypass module is added
Normal operating conditions still apply
The memory setting does not override the vehicle’s safety logic or the operating conditions described in JLR owner information. Even when Auto Start/Stop is enabled, the engine may remain running or restart when required by battery charge, climate-control demand, engine temperature, brake vacuum, selected drive modes or other vehicle conditions.
Likewise, an Auto Stop/Start Not Available message can indicate that the system is temporarily inhibited or that a fault requires diagnosis. Memory activation is not a repair for a weak battery, sensor issue or system fault.
Compatibility is vehicle-specific
Availability varies by model, model year, market and software configuration. We therefore check the VIN before confirming the service. Supported vehicles can include selected Defender, Discovery, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Evoque, Velar and Jaguar derivatives, but the model name alone is not sufficient for approval.
Hybrid and newer vehicle architectures can use different stop/start strategies and control logic. We only offer the activation when the verified configuration supports a genuine last-state memory function.
Switch configurations with our 3-click tool
After setup, our own 3-click tool lets you switch between the original stock configuration and the memory-enabled configuration yourself at any time. SDD, Pathfinder and TOPIx Cloud are not required on the customer side, and you do not need to contact us each time you change configuration.

What does Land Rover Auto Start/Stop Memory change?
It stores the last Auto Start/Stop setting selected by the driver and restores that preference after the next ignition cycle. The original on/off control remains available.
Is this a permanent Auto Start/Stop delete?
No. It is a last-state memory function. You can still switch Auto Start/Stop on or off using the normal vehicle control, and the newly selected state is remembered for the next start.
Why might the engine still not stop when the function is enabled?
JLR specifies several normal inhibit conditions, including battery state, climate-control demand, engine temperature, brake vacuum and certain drive modes. The memory activation does not override this safety and operating logic.
Can Start/Stop Memory repair an unavailable or faulty system?
No. An unavailable message or unexpected behaviour can be caused by normal inhibit conditions or a technical fault. Battery, sensor and system problems must be diagnosed separately before any memory activation.
How can I return to the original stock configuration?
Use our own 3-click tool to switch between the stock configuration and the memory-enabled configuration yourself at any time. No customer-side SDD, Pathfinder or TOPIx Cloud access is required.
