How to turn off the Audi A3's idle start-stop function?

I have a new 2021 Audi A3 and the car's idle start-stop function keeps turning on every time I come to a stop. It's really annoying and I want it permanently turned off. How can I do that?

To permanently disable the idle start-stop function in your Audi A3, you will need to access the car's infotainment system. From the main menu, go to Settings > Efficiency assistant > Start-stop system and select 'Off'. This will turn off the function for all future drives.

If you only want to temporarily disable the idle start-stop function, you can press the button on the center console with the 'A' symbol on it. This will turn off the function for the current drive only.
