Stop/Start not working?

Stop/Start not working?
Had had my C300 for almost a week and over the last two days I've commuted to and from work, my stop/start has not been working. I have a lot of stop and go traffic, and at a full stop the engine stays on. The system worked just fine earlier this week.
Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Does it turn green? Or stay yellow?
If Eco light not even on, there may be a fault code thrown with Eco system
I had a bad crankshaft position sensor

Mine hasn't worked for a while either. Today with a fully warmed up engine sitting in a car wash line it never shut off.

Does the green Eco come on the dash and the engine still doesn't stop?
Then you have a defective system and need diagnostics

The Eco button on the center console has a green light that you can toggle on and off
I am not talking about this
I am talking about the dash info cluster right in front of the driver... You... Does it say ECO in green when you are at a stop?

It does not, however it would be green at a stop when it was working a few days ago.

Basically it may not be meeting the many variables that need to be active in order for it to stop the engine
It may possibly still be working ok, just not finding all the variables to be active in order to shut off
Take it in, see if Benz says differently

You should read owner manual as it explains quite in details the conditions needed for the Eco to work / activate ... The system is having a lot of variables ...
If you consider it should be enabled and it does not work, I would suggest you check for some days and then report issue to the dealer.
I had a similar problem on my w204 after 1 year - solution was replacing the aux battery

Thanks.
A few big variables:
Since I've been driving when it's 5 degrees out and with the heat on, now I can see why the start/stop hasn't been working.
A few big variables:
- The outside temperature is within the range that is suitable for the system.
- The set temperature for the vehicle interior has been reached.

I know what you are talking about, we do not have an ECO light like the E Class does.

Mine hasn't worked for over a week. Then again, its been around 0-10 degrees outside every day I drive to and from work. I just figured it was too much strain on the system to start/stop in these frigid temps. I figured if it didn't work when it's 50 degrees again, maybe I have an issue.

I had a similar problem, another variable is if the A/C is on, ECO doesnt activate for obvious reasons. I prefer to have it off permanently when possible...

I've learned that if you have a light foot on the brake, stop-start doesn't engage. Press the pedal a little harder and the engine shuts off.
If you press the pedal too hard and the engine shuts off, let up on the brake pedal, keeping it pressed just enough to keep you stopped.

I've the same issue in my C300 Hybrid, I'm totally disappointed with it, it completely breaks the hybrid function ![Frown](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Have contacted the dealer, they have done a lot of tests and found "no problems".
Maybe to cold for it right now, let's see if it improves as the spring begins.
If anyone has an hint please share.
