ECO displa EC O display function y function
The ECO display shows an evaluation of your driv-
ing style on the driver's display depending on the
situation. This enables you to check the e ciency
of your driving style and adjust it if necessary. The
ECO display menu shows a ball
forwards or backwards on a stylised road in the
direction of travel according to the driving charac-
teristics.
Above and below the road, lines mark the area for
an e cient driving style 3. Ball
green if it is rolling within these lines. Outside the
lines, the ball will light up in orange.
The ECO display assesses the following criteria for
an economical driving style:
coasting at the right time
R
consistent speed
R
moderate acceleration
R
The overall assessment of your driving style "from
start" is indicated using stars 1. It starts with
ve empty stars, which you can ll one a er the
other if you drive e ciently. When all ve stars are
lled, a glow will appear in the background.

Depending on the selected recuperation level, the
electric motors are operated as an alternator
when in overrun mode and during braking in order
to charge the high-voltage battery while driving.

As soon as you take your foot o the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is in motion and in trans-
mission position h, recuperation in overrun
mode is initiated.

The higher the recuperation, the more sharply the
vehicle is braked when coasting and the more
electrical energy is fed into the high-voltage bat-
tery.
The deceleration in overrun mode may not be suf-
ficient depending on the driving conditions. Also
brake with the service brake if necessary. Always
adapt your speed to the driving conditions and
keep a su cient distance.
The recuperative brake system has the following
characteristics:
supports braking with electronically controlled
R
brake force boosting
converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into
R
electric energy
%
If you brake hard, the mechanical brake is
also used. This means that the maximum
recuperative energy cannot be recovered. The
more you drive and brake in an anticipatory
manner, the more e ciently energy can be
recuperated.
