To achieve a higher value:
• observe the gearshift recommendation
• accelerate moderately, especially at
higher speeds
• drive carefully and keep your distance
from the vehicle in front
• rel ease the accelerator pedal in good
time
• allow the vehicle to coast without the
use of the brakes and engage neutral if
necessary
• drive at a constant speed and avoid
unnecessary acceleration and decel-
eration

The eco score calculation takes into
account your driving characteristics
from the start of the journey to its com-
pletion. Therefore, there are dynamic
changes in the percentage count at the
start of a journey. During a prolonged
driving time, these changes are smaller.
For dynamic changes, perform a manual
reset
(t>
page 143).
When the fuel level reaches the reserve
range , the remaining fuel storage is shown
in the multifunction display instead of the
percentage value.
For further information on the eco score
display, see
(t>
page 143).
The percentage count in the eco score dis-
play onl y appears after a distance of
approx . 400 m has been covered . A higher
percentage count indicates a more econom-
ical driving style.
If
the ignition remains
switched off for longer than four hours, the
Driving tips
eco score display in the on-board computer
will be automatically reset.
The percentage count in the eco score dis-
play is an average value based on the fol-
lowing three categories:
• accelerate
(evaluation of all accelera-
tion processes)
- The bar fills up: moderate accelera-
tion, especially at higher speeds
- The bar empties: sporty acceleration
• anticipatory
(assessment of driving
behavi our at all times)
- The bar fills up: keep your distance,
release the accelerator early and allow
the vehicle to coast without using the
brakes. Maintain a constant speed and
avoid unnecessary acceleration and
deceleration.
- The bar empties: fluctuations in
speed, frequent braking
• shift
(evaluation of all gear changes)
The bar fills up: observe the gearshift
recommendations in the multifunction
display.
- The bar empties: driving with the
engine speed too high or too low
An economical driving style involves driv-
ing with a moderate engine speed.
To achieve a higher value in t he
shift
cat-
egory, observe t he gearshift recommenda-
tions.

On long journeys at a constant speed,
e.g. on the motorway, only the bar for
anticipatory
will change.
