What are the reasons for BMW's one-button start failure?
1 Answers
BMW's one-button start failure reasons and solutions are as follows: 1. Steering wheel locked: Many people often encounter the situation where the car won't start, and the key can't be turned. At this time, it should be noted that when parking, if the steering wheel is not straightened and is at a slightly larger angle, the steering wheel will automatically lock, which is also an anti-theft measure. At this time, the key may not be able to be turned, causing the ignition to fail. As long as you turn the steering wheel hard while turning the key, the steering wheel lock can generally be unlocked quickly. 2. The BMW X1 gear is not returned to the P gear when parking: Think about it, if the car can be started in D gear or R gear, the sudden movement of the car at the moment of ignition is undoubtedly a huge safety hazard. Therefore, for automatic transmission vehicles (AT, CVT, AMT), manufacturers will preset this mode and repeatedly inform in the manual: Ensure the gear is in the P position when starting. If the car is not in the P gear when parking, most vehicles will now display a reminder on the central control instrument panel, and some will also be accompanied by a buzzer reminder, so the chance of this happening is very small. Generally, it is because the driver hurriedly turns off the engine in D gear and then gets off the car and leaves. When getting on the car again, this problem is ignored. 3. Smart key battery low: Although the key is in the car, the instrument always shows that the key matching is wrong. This situation is likely due to the smart key battery being low, and the start system cannot sense the weak radio waves emitted by the key. Therefore, it is recommended to pick up the smart key and place it on the start button, and then press the button to start.
