Where is the engine auto start-stop button for the Cayenne?

Porsche Cayenne's start button is located below the steering wheel on the left side, resembling a key-like knob. This is the start button. The engine auto start-stop function automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) during driving. Below is an introduction to the Porsche Cayenne's start button: 1. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Its English name is STOP-START, abbreviated as STT. The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a set of controls for engine start and stop. 2. The working principle of the start-stop system is that when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. The Start/Stop system automatically detects that the engine is idling and not in gear, the anti-lock system's wheel speed sensors show zero, and the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops. 3. When the traffic light turns green, the driver presses the clutch, and the 'start stopper' can be activated, quickly starting the engine.
I remember that in the Porsche Cayenne, the engine start-stop button is very easy to find. It is usually located in the instrument panel area below the left side of the steering wheel, specifically among the row of buttons near the steering wheel, marked with an 'A' icon or 'Start-Stop' text label. When I drive the Cayenne, I often use this button because it's an intelligent system that automatically turns off the engine to save fuel when the car stops, such as at a red light, and restarts the engine when you press the accelerator, which is quite eco-friendly. The operation is very simple—just press the button directly. However, sometimes in heavy traffic, I turn it off to avoid frequent start-stop cycles that cause unnecessary vibrations and affect comfort. Overall, the location is designed very ergonomically, making it convenient to switch while driving to maintain safety and fuel efficiency, preventing any dangerous distractions.
