I’m experiencing issues with the Auto H feature on my BMW X5 as well. I often get the error code 2A1C, and it really disrupts the drive. Anyone else face this?

Yes! I’ve had the same code pop up. It usually goes away after a restart, but it’s annoying. Have you tried resetting the system?

I’ve noticed that the Auto H doesn’t engage smoothly sometimes. It feels like a delay in response. It’s especially frustrating in traffic. Anyone found a fix for that?

Yes! It’s like it has a mind of its own! Maybe there’s a software update we need to look out for?

I think a lot of us are in the same boat. The Auto H’s sensitivity to certain conditions seems to vary greatly. How about changing the brake fluid? Sometimes that helps.

It was an issue I ran into previously with my other car. The smoothness of the Auto H can sometimes depend on the brake system. Just a thought!
