STARTING AND DRIVING
Eco drive mode

friendly driving.
When Eco mode is activated, the following

The automatic transmission's shifting
•
points.
Engine control and accelerator pedal
•
response.
Eco Coast functionality is activated and
•
engine braking is disabled when the accel-
erator 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
•

mote more eco-friendly and economical
driving.
Coast function Eco Coast
Eco Coast essentially deactivates engine brak-
ing, allowing the vehicle's kinetic energy to be
used to roll greater distances. When the driver
releases the accelerator pedal, the transmis-
sion is automatically disengaged from the
engine. Engine speed is reduced to idling
speed to reduce fuel consumption.
