The automatic start-stop function of the Mercedes-Benz E260L is located in the functional control area in front of the center armrest, using a mechanical button. Simply press the button to turn it off. The deactivation of the automatic start-stop function is not permanent; the owner needs to turn it off each time they drive. Of course, it can also be permanently disabled by having the code rewritten at a professional institution.
For the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E260, the start-stop switch is typically located on the center console near the gear lever. You'll usually find a button with the letter 'A' or an ECO symbol—it's quite noticeable. If you're seated in the driver's seat, just reach to the right side of the gear lever, where there's often a small button cluster. Pressing it will toggle the start-stop function. I recommend testing it before driving. If pressing it doesn’t work, it might be because the vehicle hasn’t met the necessary conditions, such as insufficient battery charge or the system automatically deactivating due to high interior temperature. Sometimes, setting the driving mode to Sport will also disable the start-stop function. During regular maintenance, ask the technician to check the switch’s wiring and fuse to prevent issues like short circuits from water exposure on rainy days. Make it a habit to ensure the function is working properly before driving—it saves fuel and is eco-friendly. If you can’t find the manual, you can download the user guide for free from the Mercedes-Benz official website, which includes detailed diagrams.
