Hello 3 weeks into my first R56 and loving every minute:D

anyone know where I can find info on stop/start ? mine appears to be turned 'off' is there an option somewhere to turn it back on? car is showing no fault but maybe there's a dealer option to disable?

thanks,
Simon

All UK-spec cars built after mid-2007 have stop/start as standard with an 'on' default that can be overridden by pressing the (A) button.

I don't think it's offered in every market though.

thanks for reply.
Today all on it's own the auto stop/start started working after 19 days of ownership. Visited the dealer at lunchtime but they assured me there was no magic 'turn the auto stop/start off' workshop option. Anyway may have been coincedence but I did press the button several times so perhaps a dirty connection in the switch? Anyway all seems to be fine now.:smile:

The warm weather today is probably a factor too.
