Do not drink or take drugs and drive or allow
anyone to drive who has been drinking or tak-
ing drugs.
ECO display
The ECO display gives you information on how
economical your driving style is. The ECO dis-
play assists you in achieving the optimum
driving style in terms of consumption, taking
the actual and selected conditions into con-
sideration. Your driving style can significantly
influence the vehicle's consumption.
ECO display (example: multifunction display)
The ECO display consists of three bars:
Acceleration Acceleration
R
Constant Constant
R
Coasting Coasting
R
The percent value is the average value of the
three bars. The three bars and the mean value
begin at the value of 50%. A higher percent-
age indicates a more economical driving
style.
The ECO display does not indicate the actual
fuel consumption and a fixed percentage
count in the ECO display does not indicate a
fixed consumption figure.
Apart from driving style, consumption is
dependent on many factors such as, e.g.:
load
R
tire pressure
R
cold start
R
choice of route
R
electrical consumers switched on
R
These factors are not taken into considera-
tion by the ECO display.
The evaluation of your driving style is carried
out using the following three categories:
Acceleration Acceleration (evaluation of all accelera-
R
tion processes):
The bar fills up: moderate acceleration,
-
especially at higher speeds
The bar empties: sporty acceleration
-
Constant Constant (assessment of driving behavior
R
at all times):
The bar fills up: constant speed and
-
avoidance of unnecessary acceleration
and deceleration
The bar empties: fluctuations in speed
-
Coasting Coasting (assessment of all deceleration
R
processes):
The bar fills up: anticipatory driving,
-
keeping your distance and early release
of the accelerator. The vehicle can coast
without use of the brakes.
The bar empties: frequent braking
-
To achieve a higher value in the categories
Acceleration Acceleration and Constant Constant, drive the vehi-
cle in drive program E:
i
On long journeys at a constant speed, e.g.
on the highway, only the bar for
will change.
i
The ECO display summaries the driving
characteristics from the start of the journey
to its completion. For this reason, the bars
change dynamically at the beginning of the
journey. On longer journeys, there are
fewer changes. For more dynamic changes,
carry out a manual reset.
