How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in BMW?
2 Answers
BMW's auto start-stop deactivation button is located near the engine start button. Press the "A off" button to turn it off. More information about the auto start-stop function is as follows: 1. After the car is started, the auto start-stop function is automatically activated. If you do not wish to use the auto start-stop function, you can manually turn it off. The illuminated button indicates that the start-stop function is deactivated, while the unlit button means the function is active. 2. Purpose of the engine start-stop function: To save fuel and reduce fuel consumption.
My BMW has been running for over three years, and I have to manually turn off the start-stop function every time I start the car. Look for the button with the letter A and an arrow near the gear lever or in the central control air conditioning button area. Press it, and a yellow circle with the letter A will appear on the dashboard, indicating the start-stop function is turned off. This is especially useful in traffic jams; otherwise, the constant engine start-stop can make you dizzy. Remember, some older models require going into the iDrive menu settings—you can find the option to turn it off under Vehicle Settings → Drivetrain/Chassis. Also, make sure to turn off the start-stop before driving through water on rainy days. If the engine stalls and automatically restarts, it could be severely damaged.
