Climate control is set to be fuel-efficient. By making a slight change to the set temperajture, or slowly adjusting the rate of heating or
cooling of the vehicle's interior, fuel consumpj tion can be economized.
The mirror heating is made available when outj
side temperatures are very cold.
Coasting
To activate coasting:
"Coasting"
Fuel-efficiency can be optimized by disengagj ing the engine and coasting with the engine
idling.
This function is only available in ECO PRO

Coasting
Concept
The function helps to conserve fuel.
To do this, under certain conditions the engine is automatically decoupled from the transmisjsion when selector lever position D is set. The
vehicle continues traveling with the engine idling to reduce fuel consumption. Selector
lever position D remains engaged.
This driving condition is referred to as coastj
ing.
As soon as you step on the brake or acceleraj tor pedal, the engine is automatically coupledagain.
General
information Coasting is a component of the ECO PRO drivj
ing mode.
Coasting is automatically activated when ECO PRO mode is called via the Driving Dynamics
Control.
The function is available in a certain speed
range.
A proactive driving style helps the driver to use
the function as often as possible and supports
the fuel-conserving effect of coasting.
Functional
requirements
In ECO PRO mode, this function is available in
a speed range from approximately
30 mph/50 km/h to 100 mph/160 km/h if the following conditions are met:

analysis
Concept
The function helps develop an especially effij cient driving style and to conserve fuel.
For this purpose, the driving style is analyzed.
The assessment is done in various categories
and is displayed on the Control Display.
Using this indication, the individual driving
style can be oriented toward conserving fuel.
The last fifteen minutes of a trip are evaluated.
The range of the vehicle can be extended by
an efficient driving style.
This gain in range is displayed as a bonus
range in the instrument cluster and on the
