Driving and operating231Restart of the engine by the stop-start system
If one of the conditions for an
Autostop is not fulfilled anymore or
the vehicle starts to move, the engine
may be restarted automatically by the
stop-start system.
An automatic engine restart may not
be possible if a door or the bonnet is
open.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during restart might be noticeable.
If the Infotainment system is active,
audio sound may briefly be reduced
or interrupted during the restart.
Fault
If the LED illuminates in deactivation
button ) without first being pressed
to deactivate the system, there is a
fault in the stop-start system and it is
deactivated. A corresponding
message also appears in the Driver
Information Centre 3 105.

i for 5 seconds to put the vehicle into
service mode. The indicator light will
illuminate.
When service mode has been
activated, the air suspension master
switch must be turned off.
To exit service mode, press i again
for 5 seconds.
Fault
If a fault is detected, i will flash
intermittently. If service mode has been activated and there is a fault, h,
S and R will flash simultaneously.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.Engine exhaust9 Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
soot particles out of the exhaust
gases. The system includes a self-
cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving without
any notification.
The filter is cleaned by periodically
burning off the soot particles at high
temperature. This process takes
place automatically under set driving
