How do I turn off automatic start/stop engine feature?

I find the automatic start/stop engine feature on the Audi A3 to be inconvenient and I prefer to have the engine running continuously. How do I disable this feature?

To disable the automatic start/stop engine feature on your Audi A3, press the 'ECON' button located near the shifter.

You can also access the start/stop engine settings through the MMI display of your Audi A3. Navigate to the vehicle settings, then select 'Start/stop system' and choose the 'Off' option.

If you regularly drive in heavy traffic, you may want to keep the automatic start/stop engine feature enabled as it can help reduce fuel consumption. However, for those who prefer to have a smoother driving experience, disabling the feature can be beneficial.
