R The engine speed cor responds tothe idle
speed.
Glide mode is activated if thefo llowing condi‐

R Drive program Eis selected.
R The speed is wi thin a suitable range.
R The cou rse of thero ad is suitable, e.g. no
st eep uphill or downhill gradients.
R You are no lon ger depressing the accelerator
or brake pedal.
