Why did the Mercedes-Benz auto start-stop suddenly stop working?
1 Answers
Accidentally pressing the auto start-stop button, complex activation conditions, or failure to meet the start-stop requirements. Below are detailed explanations of the reasons: Accidentally pressing the auto start-stop button: Vehicles equipped with auto start-stop functionality usually have the system enabled by default. If it suddenly stops working, it might be due to accidentally pressing the auto start-stop button on the car, which turns the system off. Check if the system has been deactivated. Complex activation conditions: If the car is a manual transmission, the conditions for activating the auto start-stop are more complex. When parking, the system will only activate after recognizing three actions: "shifting to neutral, pulling the handbrake, and releasing the clutch." Failure to meet the start-stop conditions: Different models from various brands have different designs for the auto start-stop system. Taking the new Passat's auto start-stop system as an example, certain conditions must be met. Specifically, the seatbelt must be fastened, the left front door must be closed, and the engine must be running. Therefore, check the user manual for any specific precautions.
