ECO start/stop function
% The ECO start/stop function is not available
in all dr

ive programs, depending on the
engine. Observe the status display on the
instrument display concerning this.
If all vehicle conditions for an automatic engine
s
top are met, the engine will be switched oM auto-
matically:
= Vehicles with automatic transmission: you
brake the vehicle to a standstill in transmis-
sion position h or i.
= You activate the HOLD function or engage
transmission position j.
% If the system detects an intelligent stop inhibi-
t

or, e.g. a stop sign, the engine will not stop.
If you activate the HOLD function or engage
the park position j, the engine can be switched
oM in spit
e of an intelligent stop
inhibitor.
% In transmission position k, t
he engine will
not be switched oM automatically even when
the HOLD function is switched on.
The engine will restart automatically in the follow-
ing cases:
= V

ehicles with automatic transmission: you
engage transmission position h or k.
= You depress the accelerator pedal.
= The vehicle requires an automatic engine
start.
Status display on the instrument display: = The è symbol (green) appears when the
vehicle is at a standstill: the engine was
switched oM by the ECO start/stop function.
= The ç symbol (yellow) appears when the
vehicle is at a standstill: not all vehicle condi-
tions for an engine stop have been met.
= Neither the è symbol nor the ç symbol
appears when the vehicle is at a standstill: an intelligent stop inhibitor, e.g. a stop sign, has
been de
tected
= The s symbol appears: the ECO start/stop
function is deactivated or there is a malfunc-
tion.
If the engine was switched oM by the ECO start/
stop function and you leave the vehicle, a warning
tone will sound and the engine will not be restar-
ted. In addition, a display message reading Vehi-
cle is operational Switch off ignition before exit-
ing will appear on the instrument display. If you do
not switch oM the vehicle, it will automatically be
switched oM aser three minutes. 178

pletion and assists you in achieving the most eco-
nomical driving style.
You can inOuence consumption by doing the fol-
lowing:

= following the gearshis recommendations. The lettering in the segment will light up brightly,
t
he outer edge will light up and the segment will
Nll up when the following driving style is adopted:
= 1 Steady speed
= 2 Gentle deceleration and rolling
= 3 Moderate acceleration
The lettering in the segment will be grey, the outer
edge will be dark and the segment will empty
when the following driving style is adopted:
= 1 Fluctuations in speed
= 2 Heavy braking
= 3 Sporty acceleration
The ECO display will show you when you have
driven economically:
= The three segments will Nll up completely at
the same time
= The edges around all three segments will light
up
The additional range achieved as a result of your
driving style in comparison with a driver with a
very sporty driving style will be shown in the Driving and parking

WARNING Risk of accident due t o incor-
rect gearshising
If the engine speed is higher than the idle
speed and y
ou engage the transmission posi-
tion h or k, the vehicle may accelerate
sharply. 
If you engage the transmission position
h or k when t

he vehicle is at a stand-
still, always depress the brake pedal
Nrmly and do not accelerate at the same
time. &
WARNING Risk of accident and injur
y due
to leaving children unattended in the vehi-
cle
If children are les unatt
ended in the vehicle,
they could, in particular:
= open doors, thereby endangering other
persons or road users.
= get out and be struck by oncoming traPc.
= operate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example.
In addition, the children could also set the
vehicle in motion by, for example:
= releasing the parking brake.
= changing the transmission position.
= starting the vehicle. 
Never leave children unattended in the
v
ehicle. 
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
k
ey with you and lock the vehicle. 
Keep the vehicle key out of the reach of
c
hildren. Use the DIRECT SELECT lever to switch the trans-
mission position. The cur
rent transmission posi-
tion will be shown on the instrument display. j

Subsequently releasing the brake pedal will allow
y
ou to move the vehicle freely, e.g. to push it or
tow it away.
Proceed as follows if you want the automatic
transmission to remain in neutral i even if the
vehicle is switched oM or the driver's door is
opened: 
Depress the brake pedal and engage neutral

* NOTE Damag
e due to engaging park posi-
tion j while the vehicle is rolling If you
shis t
he transmission into park position
j while the vehicle is rolling, the transmis-
sion may be damaged. 
If the vehicle is rolling, do not open a
door

. 
Only engage the park position j when
t
he vehicle is stationary. 
Observe the notes on parking the vehicle
( pag

e 194). 
Depress the brake pedal until the vehicle
comes t

o a standstill. 
When the vehicle is at a standstill, press but-
t

on j.
When the transmission position display shows
j, the park position is engaged. If the trans- mission position display
j does no
t appear,
apply the parking brake and secure the vehicle
to prevent it from rolling away.
% Depending on the situation, it may take a
shor
t time until j is engaged. Therefore,
always pay attention to the transmission posi-
tion display.
Park position j is eng
aged automatically if one
of the following conditions is met:
= You switch the stationary vehicle oM in trans-
mission position h or k.
= You open the driver's door when the vehicle is
at a standstill in transmission position h or
k.
= When the vehicle is rolling, you switch if oM in
transmission position h or k and bring it to
a standstill.
= You switch oM the engine, bring the vehicle to
a standstill and open the driver's door when
the vehicle is stationary or when the vehicle is
rolling and the transmission position is i.
= Engaging park position j automatically is
required by the vehicle. 184

%
Park position j can be eng aged automati-
cally when the vehicle is rolling very slowly.
% To manoeuvre with an open driver's door,
open t

he driver's door while at a standstill and
engage transmission position h or k again.
% At very low outside temperatures below
appr
ox. -20 °C, it may not be possible to shis
the transmission from j to another trans-
mission position when the vehicle is switched
oM. If this is the case, change the transmis-
sion position only while the vehicle is
switched on.
Engaging drive position D 
Depress the brake pedal and push the DIRECT
SELECT le

ver down past the Nrst point of
resistance.
When the automatic transmission is in transmis-
sion position h, it will shis g

ears automatically.
This depends, among other things, on the follow-
ing factors:
= The selected drive program
= The position of the accelerator pedal
= The driving speed Problems with the transmission

Manual shising will be activated for a short
time. The transmission position display will
show c and the current gear.
% How long manual shising s
tays activated
depends on various factors.
Manual shising can be deactivated automati-
cally in the following cases:
= When the drive program is changed
= When the vehicle is restarted
= When transmission position h is engaged
again
= When the driving style prompts it 
To shis up: pull s
teering wheel gearshis pad-
dle 2. 
To shis do
wn: pull steering wheel gearshis
paddle 1.
If you pull and hold steering wheel gearshis
paddle 1, the transmission will shis to the
lowest possible gear.

NOTE Mercedes-AMG vehicles 
Observe the notes in the Supplement.
Y
ou could otherwise fail to recognise
dangers. With an anticipatory driving style, Glide mode
helps y

ou to reduce fuel consumption.
Glide mode is characterised by the following: = The combustion engine is disconnected from
the drivetrain and continues to run in neutral.
= The transmission position display h is shown
in green.
Glide mode is activated if the following conditions
are met:
= Drive program  is selected .
= The speed is within a suitable range.
= The road's course is suitable, e.g. no steep
uphill or downhill inclines or tight bends.
= There is no trailer hitched up to the trailer
hitch, and no bicycle rack Ntted.=
Y
ou do not depress the accelerator or brake
pedal (except for light brake applications).
% Glide mode can also be activated if you have
select
ed the "Eco" setting for the drive in the
drive program .
Glide mode will be deactivated again if one of the
conditions is no long
er met.
Vehicles with Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC:
When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is active,
the glide mode function will not be available.
Glide mode can also be prevented by the following
parameters:
= Incline
= Downhill gradient
= Temperature
= Height
= Speed
= Operating status of the engine
= TraPc situation
% You can end glide mode by operating a steer-
