If ECO Assist is acti ve, "Foot o. the accelerator"
symbol 3will appear on theAssistance menu
on the inst rument displa y,on the head-up display
and next tothe transmission position displa y.
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 theev ent shown
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 158).
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, the symbol
will be shown in green as soon as there is a
re sponse to"Foot o. the accelerator" prom pt3 .
If th e system does not inter vene during theev ent

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 If visibility is poor, e.g. due toinsu1cient illu-
mination 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 ere is dirt on the windscreen in the area of
th e multifunction camera or the camera is
misted up, damaged or obscured. 160 160
