There are two methods to turn off the Audi automatic start-stop system: 1. When starting the vehicle, enter the car and start it. The Audi automatic start-stop function is enabled by default. Locate the automatic start-stop switch near the center console and turn it off. After turning it off, the dashboard will indicate that the automatic start-stop function is unavailable. However, if you turn the ignition switch off and on again, you will need to repeat this step to ensure the system remains off. 2. Use a specialized diagnostic tool. Insert the diagnostic tool into the vehicle's OBD port and establish communication with the vehicle. Navigate to the address code 09 (Central Electrical Control Unit), find the access function, and enter "20113" to confirm. Enter the channel number "34," read and record the original value, add "30" to the original value, and click save. After this operation, restart the vehicle, and the system will default to the off state. If you need to use the automatic start-stop function, press the switch to turn it on. Additional information: The Audi automatic start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) and restarts it when you need to continue driving. This technology can save up to 5% of fuel under normal driving conditions and up to 15% in congested areas. For an average car, this technology can save 10% to 15% of fuel annually. While the benefits of the automatic start-stop system are evident, its effectiveness may vary depending on specific road conditions and individual driving habits.
