It disables Start/Stop until you start again.
The "until you start again" is required in order to achieve their CAFE standard.
It can be programmed out by a knowledgeable coder.
I barely notice mine.

That releases a sonic boom and causes Avalanches....only works in the Alps though so try not to use it otherwise.

You’d think driving a GLE 580 would make that obvious.

G550
The A button in my G550 never functioned, but coding the S/S permanently off did.

Wow! You guys are brutal! Just because the OP doesn't know how to use the index in his Operator's Manual is no reason to make fun of him. He's only been a member of this forum for a little over 10 years.

You can do it yourself with the LAUNCH Creader Elite 2.0 BENZ. Then read how to do it here: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ml#post9074231

Thanks for the link.

Previously, Launch only did high-end $12,000 units.
The consumer line is more recent.

The last time I brought it up, several folks lambasted me for using a Chinese product.
I put it at the other end of the house so it wouldn't damage the car while I was sleeping.

Now I feel safe putting it near the car. 😅

.

The LAUNCH scanner is about $160USD here in the US through Amazon. Are there any non-Chinese scanners?

Curious. Does Innova have a Mercedes specific scanner for under $200?

I'm not sure. It's doubtful it could compete with Launch
