Intelligent Auto Start Stop function
Depending on the equipment version and
country version, the vehicle has various
sensors to record the traffic situation. This
enables the intelligent Auto Start Stop func-
tion to adapt to various traffic situations
and, where necessary, behave in an antici-
patory manner.
For example, in the following situations:
– If a situation is detected in which the
duration of the stop is likely to be very
short, the engine is not stopped auto-
matically. Depending on the situation, a
message is shown on the Control Dis-
play.
– If a situation is detected in which the
vehicle should drive off immediately, the
stopped engine is started automatically.
The function may be limited if the naviga-
tion data is invalid, outdated or not avail-
able, for example.
