Deactivate DSG inertia mode

Good morning. I am an Italian user with a Cupra Leon 2.0 tdi 150cv Dsg. I wanted to ask a question regarding the "inertia mode", the one that, with automatic transmission, when you release the accelerator, puts the gearbox in neutral without traction. The problem is that it is activated even at low speed (20 - 40 km/h), it is dangerous because the car picks up speed and without engine braking.
There is no way to deactivate it, not even by putting it in Sport mode.
I wanted to know if there is any way or coding to disable it or at least set the drive speed.
Thank you

I tested this on my Cupra Leon yesterday and in D the inertia mode works as intended but, if I switch it into S, then the DSG remains in gear and inertia mode doesn't operate at all - I have no idea why it isn't working on yours.

Personally I find the inertia mode no problem on safety, the predictive assist system usually slows the car down for junctions and otherwise I just touch the brake. It's actually more interesting to drive with it on, I was expecting to be blasting around in the new car but instead most of time seeing how far I can coast in silence.
