How do I switch off my Audi A3's start-stop system?

I find the start-stop system in my Audi A3 to be a bit annoying. Is there a way to switch this off temporarily while driving?

To temporarily disable the start-stop system in your Audi A3, simply press the button located next to the shifter. This will prevent the engine from shutting off when you come to a stop. Keep in mind, however, that the system will automatically turn back on when you start the vehicle again.

If you're looking for a more permanent solution, you can have the start-stop system deactivated permanently by a certified Audi mechanic. This will involve reprogramming the vehicle's software and may come at an additional cost.
