multifunction display. The first segments in front
of the vehicle will turn green. The remaining seg‐
ments will initially stay white. If the driver lifts
off the accelerator pedal in good time, the
remaining segments on the display will succes‐
sively turn green until the event shown is
reached. The drivetrain will be set for maximum
fuel economy. Recuperation will charge the bat‐
tery. Recuperation will be adapted to the selec‐
ted drive program.
The event will be shown for a short time after it
has been passed. If there is no response to the
Foot off the Accelerator prompt, the segments
will remain white.
If the event involves a vehicle in front, all seg‐
ments will immediately turn green once there is
a response to the Foot off the Accelerator
prompt.
For active ECO Assist in drive program ;,
symbol 3 will appear on the multifunction dis‐
play and on the head-up display beside transmis‐
sion position h. Symbol 3 will also appear
when the assistant display is not selected.
If the system does not intervene during the
event ahead, nothing will be displayed. The sys‐
tem is passive.
ECO Assist is active only in drive programs ;
and A.
System limits
ECO Assist can function even more precisely if
the route is adhered to when route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available with‐
out active route guidance. Not all information
and traffic situations can be foreseen. The qual‐
ity depends on the map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsi‐
ble for keeping a safe distance from the vehicle
in front, for vehicle speed and for braking in
good time. The driver must be ready to brake at
all times irrespective of whether the system
intervenes.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
If visibility is poor (e.g. due to insufficient illu‐
R
mination 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 windshield in the vicin‐
R
ity of the multifunction camera or the camera
is fogged up, damaged or obscured.
If traffic signs are hard to discern (e.g. due to
R
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digital map is incorrect or out of date.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 the signs are ambiguous, e.g. traffic signs
R
in roadworks or in adjacent lanes.
