To turn off the automatic start-stop function in your BMW X5, press the 'start-stop' button twice until the symbol on the button turns gray. This will deactivate the function and it will not turn on unless you press the button again.

If you want the option to manually activate or deactivate the start-stop function, go to the 'Vehicle' tab in your iDrive system and select 'Driving Mode Settings'. Here, you can choose the 'Eco Pro' or 'Comfort' mode, which will allow you to control the start-stop function with the 'start-stop' button on your center console.
