BMW's auto start-stop deactivation button is located on the engine start button. Simply press the "A off" button manually. Generally, the auto start-stop system is enabled by default when the ignition is on, and can be deactivated with a single button press. Note that the illuminated light indicates the system is turned off. Below is more information about auto start-stop: 1. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop, such as at a red light, and restarts it when needed to continue driving. The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a set of controls for engine start and stop. 2. It's best to turn off auto start-stop in the following scenarios: Avoid using it on slopes, as releasing the brake without the engine restarting could cause the vehicle to roll back. Also, if the air conditioning is set too low, it won't cool when the engine is off, and the system may force the engine to restart if the interior temperature differs significantly from the set value, rendering auto start-stop ineffective. Additionally, always turn off auto start-stop when driving through water. For regular city driving, auto start-stop can remain active.
