Is there a real button to turn off the stop/start on the diesel model? Or can permanently disable it in the on screen options?  
  
Thanks.

No button like t6.1 and no permanent turn off, I know of but you can turn it off by going into the main menu and under I think vehicle it’s on the first screen, takes 2 clicks to turn it off.

I think the sports driving mode turns off stop start too

Just swipe down the first screen. The option is then displayed
