How to Turn Off BMW Auto Start-Stop?
2 Answers
To turn off the BMW auto start-stop function: The button is located on the engine start button. Simply press the "Aoff" button manually. The auto start-stop system is enabled by default when the ignition is on. To disable it, press the button once (the light indicates it's off). BMW cars refer to vehicles produced by Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (abbreviated as BMW). The main series include the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 Series. Among them, the BMW 5 Series has dimensions of 4998mm, 1901mm, and 1559mm, a wheelbase of 3108mm, a top speed of 250km/h, and is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode.
I remember the auto start-stop feature in my BMW was particularly annoying, especially during traffic jams when it kept turning on and off. Turning it off is simple: after starting the car, look near the center console or gear shift for a small button with an 'A' symbol, usually in yellow. Press it, and when the light comes on, it means the system is off. It reactivates every time you restart the car, so you have to turn it off again each time. Some people think start-stop saves fuel and is eco-friendly, but in my experience, it often delays acceleration and wears out the starter, especially in cold weather when the battery is under more strain. After turning it off, the ride feels smoother and more comfortable, and the operation feels safer and more reliable.
