The additional range achi eved as a result of your
driving style in comparison with a driver with a

a fixe dre duction in consum ption. ECO Assist function
%
The following function is not available in all
countries.
ECO Assist is active on lyin hÃ
(/ page 161). ECO Assi
stanal yses data forth eve hicle's expec‐
te dro ute. This allo wsthe sy stem tooptimally
adjust the driving style fo rth ero ute ahead and
re cuperate. If the sy stem de tects an event
ahead, it will appear on the multifunction dis‐
pla y.
The following events can be de tected and dis‐
pl ay ed forth ero ute section ahead:
R Vehicle in front
R Speed limit
R Downhill gradient

A di fferent number of segments 2will light up
white depending on the dis tance totheeve nt
ahead:
R Afew segments: theev ent ahead is near.
R Many segments: theeve nt ahead is fur ther
aw ay.
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
position displa y.
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
av ailable on ly inthehà setting
(/ page 161).
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"
prom pt3 .
If th e sy stem does not inter vene du ring the
eve nt ahead, no thing will be displa yed. The sys‐
te m is passive.
Sy stem limits
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
