DRIVING TIPS
▷ Driving in the dynamic limit range and on
steep uphill or downhill grades.
▷ Battery charge status temporarily too low
or vehicle electrical system drawing exces-
sive current.
▷ Trailer towing.
Coasting
Principle
The drive system allows the vehicle to roll
freely with minimal deceleration in selector
lever position D. This driving condition is refer-
red to as coasting. This reduces fuel consump-
tion.
Vehicles with mild hybrid technology do not
consume fuel when coasting.
General information
An anticipatory driving style helps the driver
use this function often and enhances the fuel-
saving effect of coasting.
Coasting is automatically adapted to the re-
spective driving situation.
The coasting mode is displayed in the Live Ve-
hicle menu as efficient coasting.
Additional information:
Current driving condition, refer to page 146.
Exemplary driving situations
If you can travel a certain distance without any
foreseeable need to brake, it is beneficial to
coast.
The following example driving situations may
be suitable for coasting:
▷ Rolling on a straight downhill route without
obstacles.
▷ Coasting on a distance without obstacles.
Avoid late or strong braking.
