Restart of the engine by the driver
Vehicles with manual transmission
Depending on the engine, two
versions of a restart are available.
See engine data to identify the engine
identifier code for your vehicle
3 248.
A restart for all engines except
B16DTU is possible at a standstill or
at a low speed up to 7 km/h and up to
14 km/h for engine B16DTU.
Conventional restart
All engines have conventional restart.
Depress the clutch pedal without
pressing the brake pedal to restart the
engine, on engines with late restart
only possible without depressed
brake pedal.
Late restart
All petrol engines and diesel engines
B16DTU and B16DTR have late
restart in addition to conventional
restart.
● Depress the brake pedal.
● Depress the clutch pedal.
● Select first gear.
● Release the brake pedal to
restart the engine.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
or manual transmission automated:
Release the brake pedal or move
selector lever out of D into N or P to
restart the engine.
Restart of the engine by the stop-
start system
On vehicles with manual transmission
which are in a conventional Autostop,
the selector lever must be in neutral
to enable an automatic restart.
On vehicles with manual transmission
which are in an early Autostop, an
automatic restart is possible in every
selector lever position.
On vehicles with automatic
transmission or manual transmission
automated, the selector lever must be
in D to enable an automatic restart.
If one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically
by the stop-start system:
Driving and operating
● The stop-start system is
manually deactivated.
● The bonnet is opened.
● The driver's seat belt is
unfastened and the driver's door
is opened.
● The engine temperature is too
low.
● The charging level of the vehicle
battery is below a defined level.
● The brake vacuum is not
sufficient.
● The vehicle is driven at least at
walking speed.
● The climate control system
requests an engine start.
● The air conditioning is manually
switched on.
If the bonnet is not fully closed, a
warning message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during the restart might be noticeable.
