How can I turn off the auto start-stop feature in an Audi A1?

I recently purchased an Audi A1 and I find the auto start-stop feature annoying. Is there a way to turn it off permanently?

Yes, you can turn off the auto start-stop feature by pressing the 'ESP off' button before you start the engine. This will deactivate the feature until the next time you turn off the engine. However, keep in mind that the feature is designed to improve fuel efficiency and turning it off may result in lower fuel economy.

To permanently disable the auto start-stop feature, you may need to use a special diagnostic tool or visit a mechanic. Some Audi dealerships can also disable the feature for you upon request. Keep in mind that this may void your warranty.
