Coasting
Concept
The function helps to conserve fuel.
To do this, under certain conditions the engine is automatically decoupled from the transmis#j
sion 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 coast#j ing.
As soon as you step on the brake or accelera#j
tor pedal, the engine is automatically coupled
again.
General
information Coasting is a component of the ECO PRO, re#j
fer to page 254, driving mode.
Coasting is automatically activated when ECO PRO mode is called via the Driving Dynamics
Control.
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 bis 100 mph/160 km/h, if the
following conditions are met:

The display of the ECO PRO driving style anal#j ysis consists of a symbolized route and alookup table.
The road symbolizes the efficiency of the driv#j

the smoother the depicted route becomes, ar#j
row 1.
The table of values contains stars. The more
efficient the driving style, the more stars are in#j

range increases, arrow 2.
If, on the other hand, the driving style is ineffi#j cient, a wavy road and a reduced number of
stars is displayed.

Fuel
recommendation
General
information Depending on the region, many gas stations
sell fuel that has been customized to winter or
summer conditions. Fuel that is available in
winter, e.g., helps make a cold start easier.
Gasoline
General
information For the best fuel efficiency, the gasolineshould be sulfur-free or very low in sulfur con#jtent.
Fuels that are marked on the gas pump as con#j taining metal must not be used.
Fuels with a maximum ethanol content of
25 %, i. e. E10 or E25, may be used for refuel#j ing.
Ethanol should satisfy the following quality
standards:
US: ASTM 4806#mxx
CAN: CGSB-3.511#mxx
xx: comply with the current standard in each
case.Safety
information
CAUTION
The use of poor-quality fuels may result
in harmful engine deposits or damage. Addi#j
tionally, problems relating to drivability, start#j ing and stalling, especially under certain envi#j
ronmental conditions such as high ambient
temperature and high altitude, may occur.
If drivability problems are encountered, we rec#j
ommend switching to a high quality gasoline brand and a higher octane grade #n AKI num#jber #n for a few tank fills. To avoid harmful en#j
gine deposits, it is highly recommended to
purchase gasoline from Top Tier retailers.
Failure to comply with these recommendations
may result in the need for unscheduled main#j
tenance.'
