General information
The ECO start/stop function is only available for the S 63 AMG.
The ECO start/stop function is only available in drive program C.
The ECO start/stop function switches the engine off automatically when the vehicle stops moving.
The engine starts automatically when the driver wants to pull away again. The ECO start/stop function thereby helps you to reduce the fuel consumption and emissions of your vehicle.
The ECO start/stop function is activated each time the engine is switched on. If all the requirements are fulfilled for automatic engine switch-off, the green ECO symbol is shown in the multifunction display and Stop/Start active appears. If not all of the requirements are fulfilled, the ECO symbol is shown in yellow and Stop/Start inactive appears.
If the ECO start/stop function is deactivated, the symbol is not shown.
WARNING
If the engine is switched off and the ECO
symbol is shown in green in the multifunction
display, the engine has been switched off
automatically. All of the vehicle's systems
remain active. If you open the door, unfasten
your seat belt or remove your foot from the
brake pedal, the engine will automatically
start. The vehicle may begin moving. You
could suffer serious or even fatal injury or
cause an accident resulting in injury or death.
Never leave the vehicle while the ECO symbol
in the multifunction display is shown in green
or yellow. Always secure the vehicle against
rolling away before leaving it.
Always switch the ignition off and take the key with you when leaving the vehicle.
