How can I turn off my Audi A8's engine without the car being turned off?

I've noticed that when I stop at a traffic light or in traffic, my Audi A8's engine doesn't turn off like other cars. Is there a way to manually turn it off without having to turn off the whole car?

Yes, you can turn off the engine while the car is still on. You just need to press and hold down the start/stop button for 2 seconds. However, I would recommend not doing this too often as it can drain your battery.

There is actually a setting in the Audi MMI (Multimedia Interface) that allows you to turn off the engine while the car is still on. Go to 'Car' settings, then 'Individual options' and select the 'Engine off' option. This way you won't have to manually turn off the engine every time.

I wouldn't recommend turning off the engine while the car is still on as it can lead to unnecessary strain on the engine and could potentially cause long-term damage. It's better to just let the car manage the engine on its own.
