The off button below the BMW start button is used to turn the auto start-stop function on and off. There are three situations when the off button should be used in BMW: when driving on snow or icy roads, when the vehicle is stuck in mud or sand during off-road driving, and during aggressive driving. After pressing this button, the auto start-stop function will be turned off or on. The off button in BMW vehicles is the button to turn off the vehicle stability control system. This feature is available in many car models, but the name may vary. Honda calls it VSA, Nissan calls it VDC, BMW calls it DSC, and Toyota calls it VSC. If the speed difference between the two wheels of the car exceeds the threshold set by the computer, the onboard computer will assume that the vehicle may skid or fishtail. Then, the onboard computer will issue the following instructions: apply single-wheel braking and reduce the engine output torque to control the situation. In fact, this is an active safety device, not a passive safety device. Auto start-stop can reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Additionally, for temporary parking situations, it also ensures the safety of the driver to some extent, avoiding the risk of accidentally pressing the accelerator during temporary parking.
