ECO Assist can function even more precisely if
th ero ute is adhered towhen route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available without
active route guidance. Not all information and
tra1c situations can be fore seen. The quality
depends on the map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible
fo rke eping a safe distance from theve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed and for braking in good
time. The driver must be ready tobrake at all
times ir respecti veof whe ther the system inter-

The system may be impai red or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
R If visibility is poor, e.g. due toinsu1cient illu-

conditions, rain, sno w,fog or heavy spr ay.

The route-based operating-mode strategy is active
only in drive prog rams A and;. When
ro ute guidance is active, data on the planned

and deactivated in the multimedia system
(/ page 306).
If th e function is active, data on the fur ther course
of thero ute is evaluated. This includes, e.g. road
type, speed limi tations and altitude data. The
hybrid system then adapts the operating

R Use of electrical energy and the combustion
engine are adap ted.
R State of charge ofthe high-voltage battery is
