How to disable the Start & Stop feature in the Volkswagen Passat?

Model: Volkswagen Passat B8, 3G, MK 8 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this tutorial, we will see how to disable the Start & Stop feature in the Volkswagen Passat, a very simple and quick operation to perform, for example, if we find the system too intrusive. First, let's go inside the cabin, then insert the key and start the vehicle. Next, locate the button depicting a circled "A" on the central console, to the left of the gear lever, press it, and check that the LED on the button itself is lit. However, the deactivation of the system is not permanent and will need to be done each time the vehicle is started.
