How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop on Audi Q2L?
2 Answers
First, use the one-touch start button to power on the vehicle, then locate the Audi engine start-stop button, which is positioned towards the lower part of the center console. Find the button marked with an A and an off symbol. Press the engine start-stop button, and typically, a yellow light will illuminate, indicating that the auto start-stop has been turned off.
I remember when I was driving the Audi Q2L, the auto start-stop function kept shutting off and restarting the engine frequently in traffic, which drove me crazy. After some trial and error, I learned how to turn it off: there's a button on the center console with an icon of a circle containing an 'A'—pressing it temporarily deactivates the system. Just note that it reactivates automatically every time you start the car, so you'll need to manually disable it again. Some people complain about faster battery drain because of this, so I regularly check the vehicle systems and battery status to prevent issues. If you can't locate the button, consulting the owner's manual or asking the 4S dealership is the safer approach. Bottom line: turning it off in city driving makes for a smoother and more comfortable ride.
