Auto Start/Stop function

Principle

Overview

The Auto Start/Stop function helps save fuel.

The system switches off the engine during a

stop, for instance in traffic jam or at traffic

lights. Drive-ready state remains on despite

the engine being stopped. The engine starts

automatically for driving off.

The Auto Start/Stop function switches to

standby state whenever the engine is started

using the Start/Stop button.

The function is activated at low speeds.

The Start/Stop button is located on the

center console.

pedal is pressed while pushing the Start/Stop

button.

When stopping, the engine switches off auto-

matically if the following requirements are met:

▷

Selector lever is in selector lever position D.

Pushing the Start/Stop button again will turn

off drive-ready state and turn on standby state.

R reverse gear

To reverse, engage selector lever position R.

Only engage reverse gear when the vehicle is

stationary.

Engaging selector lever positions

General information

If a gear position or reverse gear is engaged,

the vehicle will move if the brake pedal is not

pressed when driving off.

The vehicle drives off slowly when the brake

pedal is released.

In certain situations, e.g., to rock free on snow,

it is possible to shift between reverse gear and

gear position D without pressing the brake.

N Neutral

To push the vehicle or have it coast without

using the drive system, engage selector lever

position N, e.g., in car washes.

Functional requirements

To change from selector lever position P to an-

other selector lever position, drive-ready state

must be on and the brake pedal must be de-

pressed.

Without shift paddles: L for LOW mode

In selector lever position L, the transmission

continues to shift automatically, but generally

with lower gears.

Selection lever position P cannot be disen-

gaged until all technical prerequisites are met.

The vehicle drives off slowly when the brake

pedal is released.

Engaging a selector lever position

To engage the selector lever position, proceed

as follows:

Parking position P

General information

In selector lever position P, the drive is blocked

Step on the accelerator pedal beyond the re-

sistance point at the full throttle position.

Principle

In some situations, the vehicle is supposed to

coast without power for a short distance, e.g.,

in a car wash or when being pushed.

Without shift paddles: LOW mode

Principle

Engaging selector lever position N

LOW mode is recommended to increase the

engine braking effect, e.g., on steep downhill

gradients.

CONTROLS

General information

Activating the Sport program

In LOW mode, the transmission continues

shifting automatically, but generally in lower

gears than in selector lever position D.

LOW mode can therefore also be used to ac-

celerate more quickly.

LOW mode can also be used to rock the ve-

hicle free in snow. To do so, shift between re-

verse gear and gear position D without press-

ing the brake.

To activate the Sport program, pull the selector

lever from selector lever position D to D/S.

Enabling LOW mode

The engaged gear is displayed in the instru-

ment cluster, for instance S1.

The sport program of the transmission is acti-

vated.

Ending the Sport program

To cancel the Sport program, move the selec-

tor lever to D/S.

D is displayed in the instrument cluster.

To activate LOW mode, pull the selector lever

from selector lever position D to D/L.

Displays in the instrument cluster

The engaged gear is displayed in the instru-

ment cluster, for instance L1.

The selector lever position, for

example, P, is shown on the in-

strument cluster.

The transmission's LOW mode is enabled.

Exiting LOW mode

To exit LOW mode, pull the selector lever to

D/L.

are designed for sportier handling. The trans-

mission, for instance shifts up later and the

shifting times are shorter.

General information

To maneuver the vehicle out of a hazardous

area, release the transmission lock electroni-

cally.

Before unlocking the transmission lock, secure

the vehicle against rolling away, for instance

with a wheel chock.
