pedal, the engine is automatically coupled
again.
General information
Coasting is a component of the GREEN driving
mode.
Coasting is automatically activated when the

ing Modes switch, refer to page 137.
A proactive driving style helps the driver to use
the function often and supports the fuel-con‐
serving effect of coasting.
