General 

The engine start/stop system (MSS) serves to achieve automatic cutting out and subsequently automatic starting of the engine to reduce fuel consumption or protect the environment if the vehicle is driven in city traffic or distribution haulage.

The MSS system is implemented in the CDI control unit.. The MSS system is started automatically after every engine start and subsequently activated after exceeding the minimum speed of 2 km/h. Activation of the MSS system is indicated over the LED in the ECO button and display of the symbol "ECO" in the IC. The activated MSS system is switched off by actuating the ECO button, which is in the UCP control unit, or by switching off the ignition (status "circuit 15 OFF") and the LED in the ECO button goes out.

The deactivated MSS system is switched on again, for a switched on ignition (status "circuit 15 ON"), through repeated actuation of the ECO button and the LED in the ECO button lights up.

Function sequence for engine stop function 

The MSS system switches off the engine automatically if the following function requirements are fulfilled by associated components for at least 2 seconds:

IMPORTANT If the engine was switched off automatically by the MSS system then also the corresponding settings of the "SPEEDTRONIC", with code (MS1) Cruise control, are switched off. After automatic starting of the engine by the MSS system the settings for the "SPEEDTRONIC" must be taken up again.

Start Engine function 

The MSS system starts the automatically switched off engine again if the following conditions apply for the associated components:

IMPORTANT If a gear range "D" was selected after the MSS system automatically switched of the engine then the brake pedal is pushed down all the way during automatic starting of the engine by the MSS system. The information concerning release of the brake pedal is read in directly from the ESP control unit® and transmitted via the engine CAN to the CDI control unit.
