I now have a B4 awd and it does not allow me to switch this feature off. However, it is a much smoother, imperceptible restart now, presumably due to the petrol and electric motor so I'm happy with it..

Is this mentioned somewhere that the new B4 doesn’t allow this option to be disabled?

There appears to be no reason to disable it on a mild hybrid car. The electric motor gets the car rolling and noiselessly gets the engine going. Seems the perfect solution to me. Saves fuel and noise and of course pollution while stopped

Totally agree. It is more of an observation that the option is missing even though the manual didn’t seem to mention that.

The manual says that the Dynamic Driving mode turns off auto Start/Stop and is a configurable setting in your Individual Driving Mode.

@Yas, which gearbox did you get on your B4?

It suppose to be 8 speed automatic though I read some received 7 speed one. Guess the only option to switch it off is the dynamic mode then.

This initiates inappropriately and is frightening, verging on the dangerous .

My two pet hates. I turn them both off as part of my starting procedure. But I've still had the anti-collision warning happen a couple of times even though it's turned off! And it's even more frightening then!

Yeah, the anti collision warning is so invasive that it nearly caused me to have an accident. Reckon it has been developed to try and protect those asleep at the wheel. Or possibly those that should be taking the bus
