ARNING Risk of accident if ECO Assist
does not provide su cient deceleration
ECO Assist only brakes your vehicle when you
take your foot o the gas pedal. If vehicles are
detected late, e.g. a er tight curves, or if you
do not react immediately to the ECO Assist
display, the deceleration may not be su cient.
React promptly to the ECO Assist recom-
#
mendation and take your foot o the gas
pedal.
Adjust your speed to the driving condi-
#
tions and maintain a suitable distance
from the vehicle in front.
Brake the vehicle yourself and/or take
#
evasive action.
ECO Assist is active only in hÃ
( page 185).

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, ECO
Assist analyses data for the vehicle's expected
route. This allows the system to optimally adjust
the driving style for the route ahead, use minimal
energy and recuperate as much as possible. If the
system has detected an event ahead or a vehicle
in front and the vehicle is approaching the event,
ECO Assist calculates the optimised speed pro le
based on the distance, speed and available route
information.
If you release the accelerator pedal in this case,
intelligent recuperation starts in overrun mode. If
ECO Assist has detected a vehicle travelling in
front or a stationary vehicle ahead, it can brake
your vehicle to a standstill. This may be the case,
for example, at the end of a tra c jam or if the
detected vehicle ahead stops in front of you.
If the deceleration provided by ECO Assist is not
su cient, you must also brake with the service
brake.
At low speeds, e.g. in a multi-storey car park or on
play streets, no adjustment is made for stationary
vehicles and therefore there is no display.

requires an adjustment of your driving style is
detected, corresponding symbol
