That means to prevent any auto re start the key must be turned to position 1 or 0.
As soon as you open the driver's door, the car will no longer re-start.

I've seen a gas 350/550 and diesel 2013 in Ontario and don't see an ECO button on the dash. So no stop start or do they need modification? YYZ any official words? :o)

The BlueTEC diesel engine has Eco Start/Stop function.

It is such an incredible ride. I don't think the ECO feature would make me any happier! The technologies on board this truck are just amazing and so useful. I come out of a 1999 Lexus RX300 and the ML is light years ahead. The diesel is an amazing engine with so much power when you launch it from 0 speed. I like everything about it!

First, it is hard to imagine that they would not mention this in the model year preview if it is indeed included.

Second, as with most other features/functions, they would not automagically appear in the build unless it is explicitly listed out in the equipment list.
ECO Start/Stop has its own build code - for example, in the GLK, it is "Auto Stop Start Function, (S-B03)". So if you don't see this item on the list, it won't be there.
They could introduce it in mid-model year, as this function is explained on the M-Class 2013 owner's manual; but they included the 360 surround camera too. But for current build that you can order now, this function is not there.
In Canada GLK350 its Std

Yep AMG where it should be first :-)
I don't recall anything stating stop start would be on 63 either. Did any of my CAN friends see any?

Can Anyone confirm?

The ECO start (starter hardware) is the same? OR is it more robust than the NON-ECO start (starter hardware)?

Info I read said Yes more robust for application. However a smart manufacturer would only design and engineer one model unless its extremely expensive.
