STARTING AND DRIVING
ECO drive mode
The Eco drive mode optimizes the vehicle's driv-
ing characteristics for more fuel-efficient and
eco-friendly driving.
Use this mode to save fuel and promote eco-
friendly driving.
When ECO mode is activated, the following cha-
racteristics are modified:
•
The automatic transmission's shifting points.
•
Engine control and accelerator pedal
response.
•
Eco Coast functionality is activated and
engine braking is disabled when the acceler-
ator pedal is released at speeds between
65 and 140 km/h (40 and 87 mph).
•
Some of the climate system settings will be
reduced or switched off.
•
Information will be shown in the ECO gauge
in the instrument panel to help promote
more eco-friendly and economical driving.
Coast function Eco Coast
Eco Coast essentially deactivates engine braking,
allowing the vehicle's kinetic energy to be used
to roll greater distances. When the driver releases
the accelerator pedal, the transmission is auto-
matically disengaged from the engine. Engine
speed is reduced to idling speed to reduce fuel
consumption.
