Depending on the age of your car you can code the stop start off full time

1 - Module 19 - Diagnostic interface for data bus - Code (20103)
2 - Adaptation
3 - Start / Stop initial voltage limit - (Change value to 12V - By default 7.6V)

or

1 - Module 19 - Diagnostic interface for data bus - Code (20103)
2 - Adaptation
3 - EM start stop requirement ambient temperature - (Change value to 50º - By default -50º)

But personally I went for the stop start memory module which is easy to fit and remembers the last setting you used.
 
The line through the Auto Stop/Start just means that it is currently not enabled due to either the present battery charge state or cabin heater needs the engine running to meet present setpoint or some other operational reason.
If you press the Auto Stop/Start button to disable it, this symbol will never get shown during this journey.

All black painted under body running gear - yes this covering/protection is not very high quality on any/all VW Group products!
 
Sort of. I disabled it by changing the activation voltage (using VCDS or Autel or similar)

You can also buy a cable from Aliexpress which disables it for you:

With this modification we will permanently deactivate the Start / Stop and we will no longer have to do it every time we start from the button.

In 2019 models it seems that it does not work as we have been able to collect in the forum.
