How do I deactivate the Automatic Start/Stop function in my MINI with Operating System 9?

In certain driving situations, e.g., traffic jams, it may be helpful to deactivate Auto Start/Stop manually. The engine will then no longer switch off automatically. If this function is deactivated while the engine is being stopped automatically, the engine will start.  

 

Via the selector lever position or driving mode:

The Auto Start/Stop function is deactivated by the following:

– When Go Kart Mode is selected using the MINI Modes switch.

– When the selector lever is used to select either LOW mode L or sport program S. This setting option depends on vehicle equipment. 

 

Via Interaction Unit:

  1. Apps menu
  2. "Vehicle"
  3. "Driving settings"
  4. "Drivetrain and chassis"
  5. "Activate Auto Start/Stop".
  6. Select the desired setting.
