It doesn't kick in. It isn't Vtec... The Supercharger works for you all the time...

There isn't a switch to turn if off, if that is what you are asking.

If your main concern is saving fuel then just drive accordingly. Any works undertaken to disable the supercharger are likely to heavily outweigh any savings you'll make in a high mpg figure.
