118LightingBattery 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.

138Driving and operating● The engine exhaust temperatureis not too high, e.g. after driving
with high engine load.
● The ambient temperature is not too low or too high.
● The climate control system allows an Autostop.
● The brake vacuum is sufficient.
● The self-cleaning function of the exhaust filter is not active.
● The vehicle was driven at least at
walking speed since the last
Autostop.
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
Note
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 3 120.
If an autostop is temporarily not
available, D flashes green 3 93.
Immediately after driving at a higher
speed an Autostop may be inhibited.New vehicle running-in 3 132.
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 transmissionConventional restart
All engines have conventional restart.
Depress the clutch pedal without
depressing the brake pedal to restart
the engine.
On engines with late restart a
conventional restart is only possible
without depressed brake pedal.Restart of the engine by the stop-
start system
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:
● The stop-start system is manually deactivated.
● The driver's seat belt is unfastened or the driver's door is
opened.
● The engine temperature is too low.
● The charging level of the vehicle battery is below a defined level.
● The brake vacuum is not sufficient.
● The climate control system requests an engine start.
● The air conditioning is 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.
