Does the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class have auto start-stop?
On some configurations. Yes on the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, 3.5L 6-cylinder and 4.0L 8-cylinder turbo. No on the 1.8L 4-cylinder turbo and 6.2L 8-cylinder.
Key takeaways
- Start-stop cars restart the engine many times per drive, so they are usually fitted with an AGM or EFB battery - replace like with like.
- Most systems have an off button that disables start-stop until the engine is next started; some models remember the setting.
