I've driven the BMW X1, and it indeed has an auto start-stop function, especially when the start-stop system is activated. For example, when waiting at a red light or stuck in traffic, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel, and it restarts with a light press on the accelerator. This design is quite common in BMW models, helping to reduce emissions and lower fuel consumption, saving 5-10% on fuel costs in city driving. However, the start-stop system only works under specific conditions, such as when the vehicle speed drops to zero, the brake is pressed, and the battery is functioning normally. I recommend paying attention to the vehicle's condition: an aging battery might cause the system to malfunction, requiring a replacement; in cold weather, the engine might not shut off to protect the hardware. Overall, this feature is standard in BMWs, safe and reliable, but requires regular maintenance to avoid unexpected issues.

As a long-distance driver, it's normal for the BMW X1's start-stop system to automatically shut off during daily use, which is energy-saving and eco-friendly. However, if the vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving, it can be dangerous, possibly due to sensor failure or fuel supply issues. From my experience: unstable engine RPM or clogged fuel systems can trigger errors, requiring immediate repair. Avoid forcibly disabling the system in restricted zones, as the BMW electronic control unit may malfunction and cause stalling. Preventive measures include checking the battery and fuel lines every six months to ensure smooth operation. In short, normal shut-off is by design, while abnormal cases need professional attention.

When using the BMW X1 for commuting, it automatically shuts off the engine to reduce idle fuel consumption. The start-stop function is safe and effective in urban traffic conditions, but shutting off on highways or slopes may cause issues. I always turn on the hazard lights and slowly pull over to check. The BMW system activates based on brake pressure and speed, so there's no need to worry as long as the engine doesn't shake. If the system doesn't work due to an aging battery, timely maintenance can prevent malfunctions. Safety is key—don't rush to restart immediately after the engine shuts off.

What is the Discovery 5?

Discovery 5 is the fifth generation of Land Rover's Discovery series. Model Introduction: Compared to the fourth-generation Discovery, the most significant difference is the transition from a body-on-frame structure to a unibody construction typical of urban SUVs. The model available at our dealership is the entry-level Discovery 5 with a 3.0T engine, featuring an overall design that remains largely unchanged from the 2018 version. In contrast to the boxy shape of the Discovery 4, the Discovery 5 is noticeably more stylish and dynamic, making it the most practical model in the Land Rover lineup. Unlike the Range Rover, which strictly offers only two rows of seats, the Discovery 5 provides added convenience for families needing more seating. Advantages: Land Rover aims to position the Discovery as a purebred off-road vehicle. Even after its redesign, the Discovery 5 retains formidable off-road capabilities, an area where Land Rover has always excelled with its urban SUVs that also perform well off-road. The Discovery 5 is equipped with a 3.0T 340-horsepower V6 engine, delivering a maximum power of 250 kW and a peak torque of 450 N-m.

What Causes Engine Start-Stop Shaking?

Automatic start-stop shaking during activation is caused by the momentary vibration when the engine starts, which is a normal occurrence. Engine start-stop light keeps flashing: This may be due to a faulty clutch switch or damaged battery negative sensor. It is recommended to have it inspected and repaired at a 4S shop as soon as possible. The engine start-stop technology is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving. Does engine start-stop harm the vehicle? Generally, it does not harm the vehicle. The automatic start-stop function allows the engine to shut off automatically during temporary stops and restart automatically when starting, thereby reducing fuel consumption. Over 80% of engine wear occurs during cold starts and operation, while less than 20% of wear occurs during normal driving.

Is it necessary to apply silicone grease to spark plugs?

Spark plugs can be optionally coated with silicone grease, which is applied to the threaded portion of the spark plug. The purpose of applying insulating silicone grease is to provide insulation and prevent the rubber part of the high-voltage coil from conducting electricity. Spark plugs are mainly composed of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. The main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, extended insulator spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat spark plugs, pole spark plugs, and surface gap spark plugs. Spark plugs are installed on the side or top of the engine. Early spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition cables, but over the past decade or so, engines in most passenger cars have been modified to connect the ignition coil directly to the spark plug. Damaged spark plugs may exhibit the following symptoms: difficulty starting, reduced power, excessive exhaust emissions, and increased fuel consumption.
