Some additional conditions for the system to function correctly cannot be in-
fluenced or recognised by the driver. Therefore, the system can react differ-
ently in situations which are identical from the driver's perspective.
If, after stopping the vehicle, the check icon 
play, then the conditions for automatic engine shutdown are not met.
Running the engine is essential for the following reasons, for example.
›
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).
Information about the current status of the system can be displayed in the In-
fotainment display » operating instructions for Infotainment, chapter Vehicle
settings (CAR button).
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.
After the manual engine start and with a manual gearbox the automatic en-
■
gine shutdown can take place only when a minimum distance required for the
system function has been covered.

Further information on automatic transmission
Engine shut down takes place when the selector lever is in positions P, D/S, N
and in Tiptronic mode.
When the selector lever is in position P the engine remains shut down after
you release the brake pedal. The engine starts automatically by pressing the
gas pedal or by moving the selector lever into a different mode and releasing
the brake pedal.
If the engine is off due to the automatic and the selector lever is put to the R
position then the automatic starts the engine.
If the gear selector is moved from position R to the position D/S or N the vehi-
cle must reach a speed of more than 10 km / h before the automatic engine
shutdown starts.
There is no automatic engine shutdown when the system detects a vehicle
moving due to a large steering angle.
