Seat belt buckle switch
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The automatic engine start-stop uses the seat belt buckle switch to identify whether the driver's 3-point automatic-reel belt is closed. If the driver's 3-point automatic-reel belt is not closed, the automatic engine start-stop reacts differently according to the driving condition:
- When the engine is running, a switch-off inhibitor is set and the engine is not stopped.
- If the engine is off the automatic engine start-stop is deactivated. A restart is possibly solely by using the start/stop button.
