Turning off the Nissan Qashqai's auto start-stop function is actually quite simple. I remember in my car, this function button is usually located near the center console, right next to the instrument panel. Just find the button with the start-stop icon and press it to deactivate. Typically, the illuminated button indicates the function is active, while unlit means it's off. You can press it before driving, but note that it defaults to 'on' with each vehicle restart, so you might need to manually disable it every time you drive. I personally turned it off mainly because the constant engine restarts during city stop-and-go traffic were annoying and affected the smoothness of acceleration. If you can't locate the button, you can check the user manual or ask at a Nissan dealership. I also recommend regularly checking the battery, as auto start-stop consumes extra power, and disabling it can help prolong battery life.
