In cer tain cases, it may be requ ired tostore da ta

rari ly. This may be the case if theve hicle has
de tected a malfunction, forex ample.
If yo u use services, such as repair services and
maintenance work, stored operational data as
we ll as theve hicle identi/cation number can be
re ad out and used. They can be read out by
service network emplo yees, such as workshops
and manu facturers or third parties, such as break-
down services. The same is true in the case of
wa rranty claims and quality assurance measures.
In general, there adout is per form ed via the legally
prescribed port forth e diagnostics connection in
th eve hicle. The operational data that are read out
document tech nical states of theve hicle or of
individual components and assist in the diagnosis
of malfunctions, compliance with warranty obli ga-
tions and quality impro vement. Tothat end, these
data, in particular information about component
loads, tech nical events, malfunctions and other
fa ults may be transmitted along with theve hicle identi/cation number
tothe manufacturer. Fur-
th ermore, the manufacturer is subject toproduct
liability. Forth is reason the manufacturer also
uses operational data from theve hicle, forex am-
ple, forre calls. These data can also be used to
ex amine the customer's warranty and guarantee
claims.
Fa ult memories in theve hicle can be reset by a
service outl etor at your requ est as part of repair
or maintenance work.

When
theve hicle nears an event, ECO Assist will
calculate the optimal speed for minimal energy
consum ption based on the distance and speed.
"Foot o. the accelerator" recommendation 3will
appear on the inst rument displa y.
If yo uta ke your foot o. the accelerator pedal in
good time, there maining segments on the display
will successively turn green until theeve nt sh own
is reached. The driv etra in will be set for minimal
energy consum ption. The vehicle will recuperate
autonomously and thus charge the high-voltage
batter y.
% You can also manually increase or reduce
re cuperation. Ho wever, ECO Assist is availa-
ble only in thehà setting (/ page 156).
If th ere is no response to"Foot o. the accelera-
to r" recommendation 3,the segments will
re main white.
The event will be shown for a short time aTer it
has been passed.
If th eev ent in volves a vehicle in front, all seg-
ments will immediately turn green once there is a
re sponse to"Foot o. the accelerator" prom pt3 . If ECO Assist cann
otidentify a recommendation
fo r adjusting the driving style forth eev ent ahead,
no thing will be displa yed. The system will be pas-
sive.

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 theav ailable 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. You must be ready tobrake at all times ir re-
specti veof whe ther the system is active.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifth ere is poor visibility, e.g. due toinsu1cient
illumination of thero ad, highly variable shade
conditions, rain, sno w,fog or heavy spr ay.
