Reasons for the engine running
It may be essential for the engine to keep running when the vehicle comes to
a halt, for the following reasons.
▶
The engine temperature for the proper function of the system has not yet
been reached.
▶
The charge state of the vehicle battery is too low.
▶
The current consumption is too high.
▶
High air-conditioning or heating capacity (high fan speed, big difference be-
tween the desired and actual interior temperature).
When the engine is shut-down automatically and the system detects that the
engine is required such as when the brake pedal is pressed repeatedly then
the system automatically starts the engine.
Note
If the vehicle remains outdoors for a long time in minus temperatures or in
■
direct sunlight, it can take several hours until the internal temperature of the
vehicle battery reaches a suitable temperature for proper operation of the
START STOP system.
If the driver's seat belt is removed for more than approx. 30 seconds or the
■
driver's door is opened during stop mode, the engine will have to be started
manually.
No automatic engine shut-down takes place when a vehicle with automatic
■
transmission is moving at low speed (e.g. during a traffic jam) and remains sta-
tionary after pressing the brake pedal lightly. Automatic engine shutdown
takes place if you press the brake pedal down with more force.
For vehicles with automatic transmission there is no automatic engine shut-
■
down when the system detects a manoeuvring action due to a large steering
angle.
