Does the 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class have auto start-stop?
On some configurations. Yes on the 5.5L 8-cylinder turbo. No on the 4.0L 8-cylinder turbo and 6.0L 12-cylinder turbo.
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.
