How To: ECO Start/Stop - Mercedes-Benz Owner Support 

Agree

It is the only thing I don’t like about my MB! Can’t it be turned off ?

Aprende Con Ame - Videos de Matemáticas para niños yes it can be turned off

@dropout0110 lol

You can turn it off...

Mine still works with seatbelt off

DUH don’t wear your seat belt and die then you won’t need it at all

It's not hard on the engine. It's slightly harder on the more robust starter. Over a lifetime, this can put strain on it. It does save 3-12% of fuel. (Nobody cares about that)

@@UhhhhhnooOOo00oO l

True! I want to keep it off but how!!!

It should be on by default. Emissions but, strain on starter.

You can use individual mode to keep it off even when you just start on the car

I don’t get why people hate the start and stop system . How would an engine that is already warmed up be damaged by stoping it from idling for a minute or two?

It may mean that the battery is low / close to the end of its life. The car computer saves energy by switching off the start stop feature. This happened to me recently. When I replaced the battery with the new one, the start stop started working again.

ClynthSync cuz b class is the shittiest mercedes waste of money

Go Vehicle settings, sport sport + eco... u have an option to costumise your own mode,by costumising u can disable it permanantly... i found this thing today accidentaly...

It's the same thing. I think the "A" with circle is universal.

Walrus

april i bought 2016 e350. 45k miles under warranty. eco didn't work or worked sporadically. mb service computer said 'bad battery'. they gave me new one, and it's ok now fyi.

If you then open the door, cruise control engages set to 100mph - German engineering

Can't be a good thing for the starter motor!

Yes.

No. Electronic starter. Google is your friend.

They told me at Mercedes, they have never had a starter failure due to regular use of ECO or anything else. SRS module and airbag failures are a different story. Dangerous

How to make ECO mode starting automatically?

Don't you have an individual drive mode? Can't set this function automatically off in that mode? Even if the answer for those 2 questions are no, you must have a sport and sport+ mode, since you are driving a C300, can't you simply use those modes?

This is all about emission control standards set by US gov. and the world? All makes/models will be effected soon, if not already. No dealer/mfgr can be happy with the (I am sure,) considerable consumer (negative) feedback they are receiving about this feature; including me!

I have a 17 c300 and I never use eco stop. I discovered that having it in comfort mode the eco system is off even when I turn the car off and it remains in comfort mode even when I start the car. I hope this helps.

I’ve had my cla250 for a whole year and it’s never done the eco start and stop until I changed my battery yesterday 😂

is it that hard to just get used to it?

@Lin-ow7io when you jave a GLS and often switch between sports, comfort and individual mode yes its bloody annoying when the engine suddenly turns off and you're not expecting it. Everytime you switch modes it turns the e give on/off back on. We live in a rural area and have to go into city areas for work, school, grocery shopping etc. I tow a trailer with it often and comfort setting is too soft and laggy so I have to pick sports. Comfort is too unstable on some undulating country roads but great on city roads, sports mode works great when accelerating with the family or a trailer and fkr overtaking trucks/caravans etc on our country roads. That's why most of the time I'll drive in Individual mode with the sports steering and suspension and comfort engine settings. There is a noticeable difference in acceleration between sports mode and comfort and on a country road that can make a few hundred metres difference and time in the oncoming lane difference. So in short yes...for me I'd rather turn it off. Multi drops for school, the petrol station, shops...it resets everytime you turn the car back on and as soon as you stop the engine shuts off which gives everyone in the car a moment of panic because we don't know if it's a broken down car or not....then you remember the stupid switch and press it and presto....engine come back on and you take your heart out of your throat and back into your chest !!!

Xentry will let you code it to be permenatly off​ search for someone who codes Mercedes its just couple of clicks but it might cost a penny. You could also code better parktronic to beep before crashing the obsticel, turn off beeping for doors, seat-belt, also you can code second gear for Reverse & turn off the speed limit for reverse but can be dangerous if not careful you can flip the car. Also you can open AMG menu for temperature checks of the oil, antifreeze,gearbox. This just to name a few.@@olivedrabgarage6243

🤣🤣 who will care about fuel on a v8 huh....

Yes. But not only the engine but also the battery and the motor.

No. Engine starts with "Direct Start" feature, without starter.

@@TemurKvirkvelia explain this, something has to turn the crankshaft and if not a starter or generator what then?

@@a9653192 ECU checks if some cylinder is in processing position (charged by fuel) and ignites his.

@@TemurKvirkvelia what’s processing position? There’s only intake, compression, power, exhaust?

Nor mine

Mine does not work either. E350 4matic 2016

nor mine only 30k km and not working

how does this impact safety??

I agree this feature is a greatly misunderstood feature. Many other consumers also don't understand or are confused about the new technology. With proper training any product specialist should be able to explain how the system works, how it differs from the traditional starter, and how system bares no impact on safety or reliability. No engineering degree required. It is the future of the automobile, fuel injectors received the same scrutiny when they were introduced to replace corroborators.

@@derrickwalters417 The future of the automobile is fully electric. None of this half measure stuff is going to do. It's just an irritating feature that shortens the life of your starter motor. All to save less than 5% in fuel.

If you live in California, as I do where the gas $4.00 a gal it matters and I can tell the difference I traded my old Benz in and got C300/2019 and definitely noticed the difference. I'm commuting about 100 per day round trip on the extreme traffic of the California Freeways but only need to fill my car up once per week. So yeah I give a "crap" but FYI you are able to turn it off permanently by using the customization feature. I know reading the manual can be a pain in the butt, but it's helpful BENZ owners LOL

It is not always about the money. Think about environment.

Didn't it do this when you took it for a test drive? And can you change the modes to turn it off as the video (from 2014) describes?

The starter and engine also take a toll. It is a bad feature to have.
