function of passenger compartment
monitoring.Activation without monitoring of
passenger compartment and
vehicle inclination
Switch off the monitoring of
passenger compartment and vehicle
inclination when animals are being
left in the vehicle, because of high
volume ultrasonic signals or
movements triggering the alarm. Also switch off when the vehicle is on a
ferry or train.

164Driving and operatingAn Autostop can be activated at a
speed lower than 5 km/h.
Activate a conventional Autostop as follows:
● Depress the clutch pedal.
● Set the lever in neutral.
● Release the clutch pedal.
Early Autostop
Only the engine B16DTU has early
Autostop in addition to conventional
Autostop.
An Autostop can be activated at a
speed lower than 14 km/h.
Early Autostop is inhibited if the
incline is greater than 5%.
Activate an early Autostop as follows: ● Depress the brake pedal sufficiently.
● Depress the clutch pedal.
The engine will be switched off while
the ignition stays on.
Early Autostop is inhibited when the
turn lights are on, trailer hitch is
connected, the steering wheel is
moved beyond a certain point or the
inclines is greater than 5%.Vehicles with automatic transmission
If the vehicle is at a standstill with
depressed brake pedal, Autostop is
activated automatically.
Indication
An Autostop is indicated by the
needle at the AUTOSTOP position in
the tachometer.
After restart, the idle speed is
indicated.
During an Autostop, the heating and
brake performance will be
maintained.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled:
● The stop-start system is not manually deactivated.
● The bonnet is fully closed.
● The driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened.
● The vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition.
● The engine is warmed up.
● The engine coolant temperature is not too high.
● The engine exhaust temperature is not too high, e.g. after driving
with high engine load.
● The ambient temperature is above -5 °C.
● The brake vacuum is sufficient.
● Between the last restart and a new Autostop must be about10 seconds.
Page 167 of 311
Driving and operating165● The self-cleaning function of theexhaust filter is not active.
● The vehicle was driven at least at
walking speed since the last
Autostop.
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
The stop-start system will be
deactivated on inclines of 12% or

Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop. See
Climate control chapter for more
details 3 148.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.

several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.

features e.g. auxiliary electric heater
or heated rear window are disabled orswitched to a power saving mode.
The fan speed of the climate control
system is reduced to save power.
