You shouldn’t have to turn them off. When you turn off the car everything should go off

Do you mean the "off" position between for example Oil Temp and Oil Press toggle?
Off just means in the quadrant where oil pressure or oil temperature is normally shown nothing will be displayed.
Unless I'm misinterpreting your question.

Always have the gauges on; the more digital stuff, the better!
