Model: BMW Serie 1 MK 3, F40 - Years 2019-2026
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this tutorial, we can see how to deactivate the Start & Stop feature in the BMW Series 1, a very simple and quick operation, for example, if we find it too intrusive. First, let's go inside the cabin, then insert the key and start the vehicle. Next, locate the button featuring a circled "A" and the word "OFF" on the central console, press it, and check that a notification has appeared on the dashboard. The deactivation of the system is not permanent and will need to be done each time the vehicle is started.
