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.
