Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.
Power saving measures
During an Autostop, several electrical
features such as auxiliary electric
heater or rear window heating are
disabled or switched to a power
saving mode. The fan speed of the
climate control system is reduced to
save power.
Restart of the engine by the driver
Vehicles with manual transmission
Depress the clutch pedal without
depressing the brake pedal to restart
the engine.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
The engine is restarted in the
following cases:
● brake pedal released while the
selector lever in position D or M
● brake pedal released or selector

Restart of the engine by the stop-
start system
Vehicles with manual transmission:
The selector lever must be in neutral
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:
● stop-start system manually
deactivated
● driver's seat belt unfastened and
driver's door opened
● engine temperature too low
● charging level of vehicle battery
below a defined level
● brake vacuum not sufficient
● vehicle is driven or rolls at least at
walking speed
● climate control system requests
engine start
● air conditioning manually
switched on
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.
