Convenient starting

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Pressing the START-STOP button initiates the starting operation. The starter motor is only activated until the engine is running. If the engine does not start, the starting operation is aborted after approx. 60 seconds. The START-STOP button only picks up drivers requests. The starting operation is carried out by the CAS control unit. The CAS only performs the engine start when all the start conditions have been met. If a precondition is no longer met during the starting operation, the starting operation is aborted.
