Do not depress the brake pedal and the
accelerator pedal at the same time
while driving. Limited braking ef
fect on salt-trea tedro ads:
R due tosalt build-up on the brake disks and
brakepads, the braking dis tance can increase
conside rably or result in braking only on one
side
R maintain a much greater safe dis tance tothe
ve hicle in front
To preve nt salt build-up:
R brake occasionally while paying attention to
th e tra ffic conditions
R carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next

A di fferent number of segments 2will light up
white depending on the dis tance totheeve nt

R Afew segments: theev ent ahead is near.
R Many segments: theeve nt ahead is fur ther

If ECO Assist is active, the "Foot off the acceler‐
ator" 3symbol will be shown on theAssis-
tance menu on the multifunction displa y,on the head-up display and beside
the transmission

When theve hicle nears an event, ECO Assi stwill
calculate the optimal speed for minimal energy
consum ption based on the dis tance, speed and
downhill gradient. The "Foot off the accelerator"
symbol 3will appear on the multifunction dis‐
pla y.
If th e driver lifts off the accelerator pedal in
good time, there maining segments on the dis‐
play will successively turn green until theeve nt
shown is reached. The driv etra in will be set for
minimal energy consum ption. The vehicle will
re cuperate au tonomously and thus charge the
high-voltage batter y.
% You can also manually inc rease or reduce
th ere cuperation. Ho wever,ECO Assi stis

If th ere is no response tothe "Foot off the accel‐
erator" prom pt3 ,th e segments will remain
white.
The event will be shown for a short time af ter it
has been passed. If
th eeve nt in volves a vehicle in front, the sym‐
bol will be shown in green as soon as there is a
re sponse tothe "Foot off the accelerator"

ECO Assist can function even more precisely if
th ero ute is adhered towhen route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available with‐
out active route guidance. Not all information
and traf fic situations can be fore seen. The qual‐
ity depends on theav ailable map data.
ECO Assist is on lyan aid. The driver is responsi‐
ble forke eping a safe dis tance from theve hicle
in front, forve hicle speed and for braking in
good time. The driver must be ready tobrake at
all times ir respective of whe ther the sy stem
inter venes. 16 8
