Do not operate accelerator pedal.
Press and release Engine Start/Stop:
an automatic procedure operates the
starter with a short delay until the
engine is running, see Automatic
Starter Control.
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine when vehicle is stationary,
press Engine Start/Stop once more
briefly.
During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal 3 158.
Emergency shut off during
driving
If the engine needs to be switched off
during driving in case of emergency,
press Engine Start/Stop for longer
than 2 seconds or press twice briefly
within 5 seconds.
9 Danger
Switching off the vehicle engine
during driving may cause loss of
power support of brake and
steering systems. Assistance
systems and airbag systems are
disabled. Lighting and brake lights
will extinguish. Therefore power
down the engine and ignition while
driving only in case of vehicle
emergency.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
Starting the engine without additional
heaters is possible down to -25 °С for
diesel engines and -30 °C for petrol
engines. Required is an engine oil
with the correct viscosity, the correct
fuel, performed services and a
sufficiently charged vehicle battery.
With temperatures below -30 °C the
automatic transmission requires a
warming phase of approx. 5 minutes.
The selector lever must be in position
P.
Automatic Starter Control
This function controls the engine
starting procedure. The driver does
not need to hold the key in position 3
or to hold Engine Start/Stop pressed.
Driving and operating
Once applied, the system will go on
starting automatically until the engine
is running. Because of the checking
procedure, the engine starts running
after a short delay.
Possible reasons for a non-starting
engine:
■ Clutch pedal not operated (manual
transmission).
■ Brake pedal not operated or
selector lever not in P or N
(automatic transmission).
■ Timeout occurred.
Turbo engine warm-up
Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time,
especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully
protect the engine.
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically cut off
during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle
is driven with a gear engaged but
accelerator is released.
