What are the reasons for the failure of BMW engine's fuel-saving start-stop function?
1 Answers
BMW automatic start-stop failure may occur due to the following reasons: the driver accidentally pressing the start-stop button leading to system deactivation; the engine not reaching normal operating temperature; sudden braking of the vehicle; or a malfunction in the start-stop system. Introduction to engine automatic start-stop: During vehicle operation when temporarily stopping (e.g., at a red light), the engine automatically shuts off. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. This system is known in English as STOP&START, abbreviated as STT. The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a set of controls for engine start and stop operations. How engine automatic start-stop works: By integrating an enhanced motor with idle start-stop functionality into a traditional engine, the system allows the engine to completely shut off when idle stop conditions are met. When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's start command, rapidly restarting the engine for seamless transition, significantly reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
