Parking the vehicle during an
automatic engine stop
The vehicle can be parked safely during an au‐
tomatic engine stop, such as when you wish to
leave the vehicle.
1. Press the Start/Stop button. The ignition is
switched off. The Auto Start/Stop function
is deactivated.
Automatic transmission: transmission posi‐
tion P is engaged automatically.
2. Set the handbrake.
Start the engine as usual using the Start/Stop
button.
Automatic engine start
The engine starts automatically under the fol‐
lowing conditions to enable the driver to drive
away:
▷ Automatic transmission:
The brake pedal is released.
After the engine starts, accelerate as usual.
Safety mode
The engine does not start by itself after it is
switched off automatically if any of the following
conditions are fulfilled:
▷ The driver's safety belt is unfastened or the
driver's door is open.
▷ Hood was unlocked.
The indicator lamp lights up. A mes‐
sage appears on the Control Display.
The engine can only be started via the
Start/Stop button.
Note
Even if you do not wish to drive away, the stop‐
ped engine still starts automatically in the fol‐
lowing situations:
▷ The interior has heated up strongly with the
cooling function switched on.
▷ The steering wheel is turned.
▷ The vehicle begins to roll.
▷ Automatic transmission: the transmission
position is changed from D to N, R or M/S.

S.
▷ Fogging of the windows when the automatic
climate control is switched on.
▷ Vehicle battery charge is very low.
▷ The interior has cooled down strongly with
the heating switched on.
▷ Low braking pressure, such as from de‐

Preventing automatic engine stop with
an automatic transmission
The concept
To permit the driver to drive away especially
quickly, such as at intersections, the automatic
engine stop can be actively prevented.
Preventing the engine stop using the
brake pedal
The engine stop can be actively prevented
within one second after the vehicle comes to a
standstill.
▷ Depress the brake pedal briefly and force‐
fully immediately after the vehicle comes to
a standstill.
▷ Then continue depressing the brake pedal
with normal braking force.
