WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5, 2012 BMW X5, and 2011 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The MSA button (MSA OFF) in the center console control panel can be used to deactivate the MSA. The MSA is reactivated each time the electrical status of Terminal 15 changes (Terminal 15 OFF and then ON again) as well as when the MSA button is pressed repeatedly.
