Limitations
Eco Coast is not available if
the engine and/or transmission are not at normal working temperatures
the gear selector is moved from
D to man-
ual shifting mode
the vehicle's speed is not within the65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) range
the gradient of the downgrade is morethan approximately 6%
the steering wheel paddles
* are being
used for manual shifting.
Deactivating and turning off Eco Coast
In certain situations, it may be advisable to deactivate or turn off Eco Coast so that enginebraking can be used. These situations mightinclude driving down steep hills or beforepassing another vehicle to help ensure thiscan be done as safely as possible. Deactivate Eco Coast by
pressing the accelerator or brake pedal
moving the gear selector to manual mode
using the steering wheel paddles
* to shift.
Turn off Eco Coast by
switching to another drive mode
*
deactivating
Eco drive mode in Function
view. It is possible to roll short distances even with- out Eco Coast in order to help conserve fuel.However, for the best fuel economy, EcoCoast should be activated and used to rolllonger distances.
Cruise control Eco CruiseWhen cruise control is activated in the Ecodrive mode, the vehicle's acceleration and deceleration will be slower than in other drivemodes to help further conserve fuel. Becauseof this, the vehicle's actual speed may beslightly above or below the set speed.
On a level road, the vehicle's actual speedmay differ from the set speed when cruisecontrol is active and the vehicle is coast-ing.
On a steep uphill gradient, the vehicle'sspeed is reduced until the transmissiondownshifts. Reduced acceleration is theninitiated in order to reach the set speed.
On a downhill gradient in which the vehi- cle is coasting, the vehicle's actual speed may be slightly above or below the setspeed. The function uses engine brakingto keep the set speed. If necessary, thenormal brakes are also applied.

424 The ECO gauge indicates how economical current driving is:
A low reading in the green area of thegauge indicates economical driving.
A high reading is shown when driving isnot economical, e.g. heavy braking orrapid acceleration.
The ECO gauge also has an indicator showinghow a reference driver would drive in the samedriving situation. This is shown by the shortpointer in the gauge.
ECO ClimateIn Eco mode, ECO climate is automatically
activated in the passenger compartment to help reduce energy consumption.
NOTE
When the Eco drive mode is activated, set-
tings for certain climate system and elec- tricity consuming functions are reduced.Some of these settings can be reset man-ually, but full functionality will only be restored by switching off
Eco mode or
adapting the Individual* drive mode to full
climate system functionality.
If condensation forms on the windows, tap the max defroster button, which will function nor-mally.

Start/Stop function Start/Stop is a function that temporarily switches off the engine when the vehicle hasstopped, e.g. at a traffic light or in heavy traf-fic, and then starts it again automaticallywhen needed.
The Start/Stop function reduces fuel con- sumption, which helps to reduce exhaustemissions. The system makes it possible to drive more economically and climate-smart by letting theengine auto-stop when appropriate.

Driving with the Start/Stop function
Start/stop is a function that temporarily turns off the engine when the vehicle is stationaryand then automatically starts it when needed.
The Start/Stop function is available when the ignition is started and can be activated if cer-tain conditions are met. The instrument panel indicates when the func- tion is
Available
active
not available.
All of the vehicle's ordinary systems, such aslighting, radio, etc. function normally when theengine has been auto-stopped. Certain func-tions may be temporarily reduced howeversuch as the climate system's blower speed orextremely high audio system volume.
Auto-stopTo auto-stop the engine: Stop the vehicle by applying the brakes and keep the brake pedal depressed. Theengine will auto-stop.
In
Comfort or Eco drive mode, the engine
may auto-stop before the vehicle has com- pletely stopped. With Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assistactivated, the engine will auto-stop aboutthree seconds after the vehicle has stopped.
Auto-startThe following conditions must be met for theengine to auto-start.
Release the brake pedal. The engine willauto-start and the vehicle can be driven.On an uphill gradient, Hill Start Assist (HSA 14
) will activate to help prevent the
vehicle from rolling backward.
When the Auto-hold function is activated, auto-start will be delayed until the acceler-ator is pressed.
When Adaptive Cruise Control or PilotAssist are activated, the engine will auto-start when the accelerator pedal is depressed or the
button on the left-
side steering wheel keypad is pressed.
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal. The enginewill auto-start.
On a downhill gradient: Release the brakepedal slightly so that the vehicle begins toroll. The engine will auto-start after a slightincrease in speed.

Leveling control * and suspension
Self-leveling and suspension functions are controlled automatically.
Rear leveling control keeps the rear section of the vehicle at the same height regardless ofload. Leveling control may also remain activewhen the vehicle is parked.
Shock absorbers (Four-C)On vehicles equipped with Four-C, the shockabsorbers are adapted to the selected drive mode and the current vehicle speed. Theshock absorbers are normally set to help opti-mize comfort and are adjusted continuouslyaccording to the road surface and the vehicle'sacceleration, braking and cornering.
TransportingWhen transporting the vehicle on a ferry, trainor truck, only secure (lash) the vehicle aroundthe tires, not using any other parts of the chas-sis. Changes in the pneumatic suspension
may occur during transport, which couldadversely affect the lashing and result in dam-age.
Symbols and messagesIf a problem occurs with the leveling control, amessage will be displayed in the instrumentpanel.
