Mercedes-Benz engine keep running condition can be eliminated by charging the battery with a charger. The function of the engine is to convert the heat energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning and expanding the gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston. The engine consists of: the engine block, the crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism, the valve train and intake/exhaust system, the fuel supply system and governor, the starting device, the cooling system, and the lubrication system. The maintenance methods for the engine are: 1. Use qualified engine oil; 2. Use qualified coolant and antifreeze; 3. Regularly clean the water tank scale; 4. Regularly clean the engine carbon deposits; 5. Regularly replace the three filters of the car; 6. Maintain a reasonable speed.

I also find it quite annoying when my Mercedes keeps the engine running while parked. Simply pressing the 'A' button on the center console can turn off the start-stop function, and I've tried it several times with great success. This system was originally designed to save fuel and be eco-friendly, but frequent engine restarts at red lights or in traffic jams can be frustrating. Manually turning it off instantly makes things much quieter. Additionally, checking whether the seatbelt is fastened or if the battery has sufficient charge can also affect how the system operates. If the weather is too cold, the start-stop may automatically deactivate to protect the engine. In daily driving, you can flexibly turn it on or off as needed. In short, a few simple steps can solve the problem and make driving more comfortable.

As a DIY enthusiast car owner, dealing with the Mercedes start-stop system not shutting off is quite simple—just locate the button with an 'A' symbol near the instrument cluster and press it to deactivate. I've noticed the system defaults to 'on' with each vehicle start, but it can be adjusted based on preference, such as turning it off in congested urban areas to avoid annoying vibrations. The battery condition is crucial when the system operates—low charge or headlights being on may cause the start-stop to fail, so regular battery maintenance helps prevent abnormalities. While there are environmental benefits, manual control better suits my practical style, saving fuel and reducing noise.

For safety reasons, when driving a Mercedes-Benz with the engine constantly running, I promptly deactivate the start-stop function by simply pressing the 'A' button near the steering wheel. While this system is designed to reduce exhaust emissions, frequent restarts increase the risk during acceleration, especially in heavy traffic areas. Manually turning it off can reduce fatigue and improve focus. The operation is convenient and reliable.
