symbol lighting up on the
display. In this condition, the light on the
button is off.

A message will appear on the display
when the system is deactivated. In this
condition, the light on the button is on.
Note: Each time the engine is started,
the system is activated regardless of

Possible Reasons The Engine Does Not
Autostop
For higher comfort and increased safety,
and to reduce emissions, there are
certain conditions where the engine will
not autostop despite the system being
active, such as:
Engine still cold.
Especially cold outside temperature.
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Driver's door not shut.
Driver's seat belt not fastened.
Reverse gear engaged (e.g. for parking
maneuvers).
With the automatic climate control
active, an adequate cabin heating or
cooling comfort has not been reached or
with MAX-DEF function active.
During the first period of use, to
initialize the system.
Steering angle beyond threshold.
Engine Restarting Conditions
Due to comfort, emission control and
safety reasons, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the
driver, under special conditions, such as:
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Reduced braking system vacuum (e.g.
if the brake pedal is pressed repeatedly).
Vehicle moving (e.g. when driving on
roads with a grade).
Engine stopping by the Stop/Start
system for more than approx. three
minutes.
With the automatic climate control
active, an adjustment in cabin heating or
cooling is made or with MAX-DEF
function active.
Safety Functions
When the engine is stopped through the
Stop/Start system, if the driver releases
their seat belt, opens the driver's or
passenger's door, or opens the hood from
inside the vehicle, the engine can be
restarted only by using the ignition.
This condition is indicated to the driver
both through a buzzer and a message on
the instrument cluster display.
Irregular Operation
In the event of malfunction, the
Stop/Start system is deactivated.
For failure indications, see the "Warning
Lights and Messages" paragraph,
"Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel"
chapter.
Vehicle Inactivity
In the event of vehicle inactivity (or if the
battery is replaced), special attention
must be paid to the disconnection of the
battery power supply.
Proceed as follows:
Remove connector from socket to
disconnect sensor (battery status
monitoring) installed on the negative pole
of the battery. This sensor should never
be disconnected from the pole except if
