It means when at stops like traffic lights or heavy traffic, the engine will shut down but leaving the electricals running for aircon & headlamps. When the gas pedal is stepped, the ignition will automatically come on instantaneously...almost seamless like a hybrid engine. This helps to save some fuel.

But will the driving experience be lost? will you feel a start in the engine everytime you move off then. as in you keep feeling a stop and restart of engine...?

which engines have it?

is this function good?

So I guess all tue new e class 7g tronic with gears at steering wheel will have this?

[Guest Kueitutu]

Supposely yes. Anyway like the other bros mentioned its really like the hybrid auto stop function. I drive a hybrid so I actually quite like this feature but there are some who feel it is irritating or uncomfortable.... when i first drove my hybrid car and the function activated, I tot my car died on me... hahaha took a while to get used to it.

your new 7G E250 Coupe should have this. :becky:

[Guest blackknight]

to me ....more wear and tear will happen:censored:

[Guest kepiting1sg]

The car designers learn from India!

In India - usual at traffic light especially in taxi - they switch off their engine to save fuel!

[Guest vincemerz]

The thing is it save petrol, but at traffic light move off, it restarts the rpm, will you feel the engine starting or it is seamless...?

If not seamless... Then very sad lo.... Made a wrong choice. No :llama:Run lioa...

[Guest VBlaster_W211]

Should be seamless. It's quite a mature technology in Europe. Usually, there is also a setting to switch it off.
