How to start the engine with one turn only

Hi everyone, I am very new with my c200 kompressor w203. My friend his has c180 kompressor and he said the car will start if i turn the key to 3rd position and release my hand (one turn only). But my car can not do like that. I have to hold at 3rd position for a while (2 second) or the car will not start. I am thinking about check a relay (or replace it). Does anyone have this problem and solution for this. Many thanks.

Just noticed your mentioned your car is a W203 but your signature says your car is a W202. Which is it? We need to know the year of your car.

The W203 starter is identical between manuals and automatics.

There is probably some setting that wasn't moved over. You will need a StarDAS or Xentry to look into it.

As mentioned, the starters are identical between manuals and automatics. Check your car configuration settings with StarDAS or Xentry.
