System limits
If the calculated route is adhered to when route
guidance is active, ECO Assist will operate with
greater accuracy. The basic function is also availa-
ble without active route guidance. Not all informa-
tion and traffic situations can be foreseen. The
quality depends on the map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible
for keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed and for braking in good
time.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient
R
illumination of the road, highly variable shade
conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
R
direct sunlight or reflections.
If there is dirt on the windscreen in the vicinity
R
of the multifunction camera or if the camera is
misted up, damaged or obscured.
If the radar sensors are dirty or damaged.
R
If the traffic signs are hard to detect, e.g. due
R
to dirt, snow or insufficient lighting, or
because they are obscured.
If the information on the navigation system's
R
digital map is incorrect or out of date.
If signs are ambiguous, e.g. road signs in road-
R
works or in adjacent lanes.

Function of the route-based operating-mode strat-
egy (plug-in hybrid)
%
The following function is country-dependent
and available only in conjunction with an inte-
grated navigation system.
The route-based operating-mode strategy is active
under the following conditions:
Drive program n is selected.
R
The "route based" option (
/
R
selected for drive program n in the
DYNAMIC SELECT menu.
Route guidance is active.
R
The state of charge of the high-voltage battery
R
is sufficient.
If the function is active, data on the further course
of the route is evaluated. This includes e.g. road
type, speed limitations and altitude data.
The hybrid system then adapts the operating
strategy to the further course of the route:
Use of electrical energy and the combustion
R
engine are adapted.
The state of charge of the high-voltage battery
R
is controlled accordingly.
Electrical energy is reserved especially for
R
electric mode, e.g. urban route sections.
The vehicle automatically selects the operat-
R
ing mode.
