Disable Auto Start/Stop function in Mini Cooper R56S

Need Help

Hello,

I would like to ask about something. I have a Mini Cooper R56S, year 12/2008, engine N14. When I bought it from previous owner it has disabled auto start/stop function, so it never applied and the light on button was off. But after I changed the battery in car, the function is back enabled so I need to push button before every drive. I bought Vlinker Vgate adapter and checked my car and I found only this related setting (check screenshot). My question is if I change it to “Active” if the car will be like before - disabled auto start/stop function all the time without light on button or If the button will light like when I disable it manually by pressing button? Or somehow else?

Sorry for hard explaining easy issue :D Thanks!!
