Principle
The Auto Start Stop function helps you to
save fuel. The system stops the engine
when stationary, for example in a traffic jam
or at traffic lights. The ignition remains
switched on. For driving off, the engine
starts automatically.
Each time the engine is started via the
start/stop button, the Auto Start/Stop func-
tion is switched to standby and is activated
from approximately 5 km/h, approximately
3 mph.
Depending on selected drive mode, see
page 172, the system is activated or deacti-
vated automatically.
