2016 MERCEDES-BENZ AMG GT ROADSTER start stop button

adjusted via the multimedia system (see the
separate operating instructions). Replacing bulbs
The front and rear light clusters of your vehicle
are equipped with LED bulbs. Do not replace the bulbs yourself. Contact a qualified specialist
workshop with the necessary specialist knowl-
edge and tools to carry out the work required.
The light clusters are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure
that these function correctly at all times. Have
the headlamp setting checked regularly. Windscreen wipers
Switching the windscreen wipers on/
off
! Do not operate the windscreen wipers when
the windscreen is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windscreen can scratch the
glass if wiping takes place when the wind-
screen is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windscreen wipers in dry weather conditions, always
operate them using washer fluid.
! If the windscreen wipers leave smears on
the windscreen after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, this may be
due to wax or other residue. Clean the wind-
screen with washer fluid after an automatic
car wash.
! Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due to
optical influences and the windscreen becom-
ing dirty in dry weather conditions, the wind-
screen wipers may be activated inadvertently. This could damage the windscreen wiper
blades or scratch the windscreen.
For this reason, you should always switch off
the windscreen wipers in dry weather. 1

wipe more frequently.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windscreen will no longer be wiped properly. This could mean
you are unable to observe the traffic conditions. Replacing the wiper blades

smooth engine operation, avoid driving at full throttle when the engine is cold. Key positions
Start/Stop button General notes
All vehicles are equipped with a Start/Stop but-
ton.
The Start/Stop button is located on the centre
console and is illuminated when the vehicle is
unlocked.
The key must be in the vehicle.
Pressing the Start/Stop button several times in
succession corresponds to the different key
positions in the ignition lock. This is only the
case if you are not depressing the brake pedal.
If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-
ately.
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in the vehicle. This occurs, for example, when starting the
engine.
If there is a key in the ignition lock, this takes
precedence over the KEYLESS-GO start func-
tion.
To start the vehicle without actively using the
key:
R the key must be in the vehicle
R the vehicle must not be locked with the key or
KEYLESS-GO (Y page 64) Do not keep the key:
R
with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another key
R with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal film
R inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case
This can affect the key's functionality.
If you lock the vehicle with the key's remote
control or with KEYLESS-GO, after a short time:
R you will not be able to switch on the ignition
with the Start/Stop button
R you will not be able to start the engine with the
Start/Stop button until the vehicle is
unlocked again
If you lock the vehicle centrally using the button
on the driver's door (Y page 70), you can con-
tinue to start the engine with the Start/Stop
button.
The engine can be switched off while the vehicle is in motion by pressing and holding the Start/
Stop button for three seconds. This function
operates independently of the ECO start/stop
automatic engine switch-off function.
Key positions with the Start/Stop button When you switch on the ignition, all of the indi-
cator lamps in the instrument cluster light up.
Further information on situations where an indi-
cator lamp either fails to go out after starting the engine or lights up while driving (Y page 196).
If Start/Stop button :has not yet been
pressed, this corresponds to the key being
removed from the ignition. 102
