> engine turns off when stationary (the default setting can't be changed by the user, but by a car service with the right tools)

Yes it can.

For cars sold nowadays, users can deactivate that every time they turn the car on, but the default cannot be changed without vendor specific OBD commands.

  • You should complain to your car manufacturer as it is a cheat to comply with emission regulation. If they meet it without it can be permanently disabled by the user.
