How to Turn Off the Mercedes-Benz Start-Stop Function?

Method to turn off the Mercedes-Benz start-stop function: The start-stop function is enabled by default when the vehicle starts. Pressing the start-stop function button once can deactivate the automatic start-stop function. If you wish to use this function again, simply press the button to reactivate it. The icon for the automatic start-stop system switch is an 'a' enclosed within a circle. Taking the smart as an example, this vehicle is a microcar under the Mercedes-Benz brand, with dimensions of 2695 mm in length, 1663 mm in width, and 1555 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 1873 mm. In terms of suspension, the smart features a McPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
When driving a Mercedes-Benz, I find the start-stop function quite annoying at times, especially in traffic jams where the engine keeps turning on and off automatically, which can be dizzying. Turning it off is simple—just look for the button with an 'A' letter or the start-stop icon near the steering wheel or on the dashboard, and press it after starting the car. As a city driver, this one-minute operation avoids the discomfort caused by frequent vibrations. Mercedes-Benz designs it to be enabled by default, so you need to press the button every time you start the car, but it becomes convenient once you get used to it. On highways, I keep it on to save fuel, but in crowded urban areas, turning it off is more relaxing. Some newer Mercedes models also allow control via the central display screen, with a user-friendly and straightforward interface.
