116LightingBattery discharge protection
Vehicle battery state of charge
function
The function guarantees longestvehicle battery life via a generator
with controllable power output and
optimised power distribution.
To prevent discharge of the vehicle
battery when driving, the following
systems are reduced automatically in two stages and finally switched off:
● auxiliary heater
● heated rear window and mirrors
● heated seats
● fan
In the second stage, a message
which confirms the activation of the
vehicle battery discharge protection
will be displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
Switching off electric lights
To prevent discharge of the vehicle
battery when the ignition is switched off, some interior lights are switched
off automatically after some time.

136Driving and operatingIndication
An Autostop is indicated by control
indicator D.
During an Autostop, the heating and
brake performance will be
maintained.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled.
● The stop-start system is not manually deactivated.
● The driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened.
● The vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition.
● The engine is warmed up.
● The engine coolant temperature is not too high.
● The engine exhaust temperatureis not too high, e.g. after driving
with high engine load.
● The ambient temperature is not too low.
● The climate control system allows an Autostop.
● The brake vacuum is sufficient.
● The self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active.
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
Notice
The Autostop may be inhibited for
several hours after a battery
replacement or reconnection.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop. See
Climate control chapter for more
details 3 118.
If an autostop is temporarily not
available, D flashes green 3 92.
Immediately after driving at a higher
speed an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 130.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.
