Depending on the vehicle equip-
ment and country-specific ver-
sion, the vehicle features a
variety of sensors for assessing
the traffic situation. The Auto
Start/Stop function uses this
information to adapt to various
traffic situations in a proactive
manner.
For instance, this applies to the
following situations:
If a situation is detected in
which the stopping time is
expected to be very short, the
engine is not switched off
automatically. A message
appears on the Control Dis-
play, depending on the situa-
tion.
If a situation is detected in
which the vehicle needs to
drive off immediately, the
engine is started automati- cally.
The function may be restricted if
the navigation data is invalid,
outdated or not available, for
example.
The engine is not automatically
switched off.
The engine is started during an
automatic engine stop.
