If th e calculated route is adhered towhen route
guidance is active, ECO Assist will operate with
gr eater accuracy. The basic function is also availa-
ble without active route guidance. Not all informa-
tion and tra1c situations can be fore seen. The
qu ality 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 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.
R Ifth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming tra1c,
direct sunlight or re0ections.
R Ifth e windscreen in the area of the multifunc-
tion camera is dirty, or if the camera is misted
up, damaged or co vered.
R Ifth e tra1c signs are hard todetect, e.g. due
to dirt, snow or insu1cient lighting, or
because they are co vered. R
Ifth e information in the navigation system's
digital map is incor rect or out-of-date.
R If signs are ambiguous, e.g. road signs in road-
wo rks or in adjacent lanes. R R

Depending on the selected recuperation le vel,the
electric mo tor is operated as an alternator when
in overrun mode and during braking in order to
ch arge the high-voltage battery while driving. As
soon as youre lease the accelerator pedal when
th eve hicle is in motion, recuperation in overrun
mode is initiated.
The higher there cuperation, the more sharply the
ve hicle is braked when coasting and the more
electrical energy is fed into the high-voltage bat-
te ry.
