C300h - Drive in Electric & Stop / Start function

Help. I have just bought a C300h (2015) and to date i have never noticed the electric come on. The battery at time is shows 85% yet still no electric. Also, i have there seems to be no Stop/Start function, there is no A on the engine start button or on the centre control panel so i’m thinking it dies nit have this function.
i have spoken to a Mercedes garage this morning and they say the electric works alongside of the engine, thus u don’t get the electric coming on, on its own. Can anyone help or provide a definitive / easy to understand explanation? Help

Do you have a HV charge port in the rear bumper?
