12.￿Proactive￿Active￿Driving￿Assistant
The￿proactive￿Active￿Driving￿Assistant￿points￿out￿to￿the￿driver￿the￿ideal￿time￿at￿which￿to￿release￿the
accelerator￿in￿order￿to￿reduce￿consumption,￿thus￿enabling￿the￿driver￿to￿save￿fuel.
Data￿from￿the￿navigation￿system￿is￿evaluated￿as￿the￿basis￿for￿the￿calculation.￿Using￿this￿data,￿sections
of￿road￿ahead￿that￿require￿a￿reduction￿in￿speed￿can￿be￿detected￿in￿good￿time.
Relevant￿sections￿of￿road￿are:
• Intersections
• Bends
• Crossroads
• Roundabouts
• Entrances￿to￿towns
• Top￿speed￿limitations
• Highway￿exits
The￿proactive￿Active￿Driving￿Assistant￿function￿is￿available￿in￿the￿G12￿in￿conjunction￿with￿the
Navigation￿System￿Professional￿optional￿equipment￿(OE￿609).
To￿ensure￿the￿coasting￿function￿is￿used￿to￿its￿full￿potential,￿the￿proactive￿Active￿Driving￿Assistant￿takes
into￿account￿whether￿coasting￿is￿currently￿possible￿and￿adapts￿the￿time￿that￿the￿information￿is￿issued
accordingly.￿The￿proactive￿Active￿Driving￿Assistant￿actively￿cancels￿coasting￿if￿it￿is￿possible￿to￿reach￿a
section￿of￿road￿ahead￿in￿coasting￿overrun￿mode.
The￿proactive￿Active￿Driving￿Assistant￿helps￿drivers￿who￿are￿not￿familiar￿with￿the￿route￿or￿area￿to￿drive
more￿efficiently.

G12￿proactive￿Active￿Driving￿Assistant￿displays￿in￿the￿instrument￿cluster
An￿indicator￿in￿the￿instrument￿cluster￿or￿Head-Up￿Display￿(only￿with￿optional￿equipment￿OE 610)￿alerts
the￿driver￿that￿he￿is￿on￿a￿section￿of￿road￿relevant￿for￿the￿proactive￿Active￿Driving￿Assistant￿and￿gives
him￿the￿option￿to￿react￿accordingly.
The￿driver￿can￿activate￿or￿deactivate￿the￿indicator￿in￿the￿Head-Up￿Display￿separately.
