It cannot be disabled. Also, if you’re doing it to cut down on wear and tear on the starter, don’t even bother because the engine isn’t using a conventional starter. The electric motor starts the engine. There is a back up starter, but it is only used in an emergency.I’m not sure if you can since it’s a hybrid. Try checking the settings in the radio.
A/C is powered by the Hybrid systemI knew the auto stop could not be turned off and was apprehensive about my test drive. I honestly could not tell it had shut off during take off from a stop. Have been in other vehicles where it is very noticeable. I was in a Jeep and wondered why the AC was blowing hot air at a stop, then realized the engine had shut off. I paid particular attention at stops and found no similar decrease in AC with the LC.
ThankfullyA/C is powered by the Hybrid system
It's actually very cool, first time ever while waiting in a parking lot for others to come out of the store, AC blasting and no additional engine heat/noise...... kind of fell asleep......LOLThankfully
You should have purchased the V6 Lexus. Avoiding not only the start/stop, but also the complexity of the hybrid system, is a rational choice.It's frustrating that a Toyota Land Cruiser turns on and off so much. It loses the Land Cruiser essence. I am not happy with my purchase
You should’ve done your research. The start stop on a hybrid vehicle is in integral to the system and you’re not gonna disable it. I believe that to be on most hybrid if not all hybrid vehicles, I could be wrong, but that is my understanding of how the system works.It's frustrating that a Toyota Land Cruiser turns on and off so much.

You should sell it while it's a hot commodity, I'm sure there are many folks that would scoop it up.It's frustrating that a Toyota Land Cruiser turns on and off so much. It loses the Land Cruiser essence. I am not happy with my purchase
Are you sure the Lexus does not employ Stop/Start, or just that it can be defeated?You should have purchased the V6 Lexus. Avoiding not only the start/stop, but also the complexity of the hybrid system, is a rational choice.
I no longer notice the start/stop after 5000 miles
The Lexus is not a hybrid and as far as I know non-hybrid systems you could turn it off, but you have to do it every time you start the vehicle.Are you sure the Lexus does not employ Stop/Start, or just that it can be defeated?
