If the calculated route is adhered to when route
guidance is active, ECO Assist will operate with
greater accuracy. The basic function is also availa-
ble without active route guidance. Not all informa-
tion and tra c situations can be foreseen. The
quality depends on the map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible
for keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed and for braking in good
time.
8 "Vehicle in front."
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insu cient
R
illumination of the road, highly variable shade
conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming tra c,
R
direct sunlight or re ections.
If the windscreen in the area of the multifunc-
R
tion camera is dirty, or if the camera is misted
up, damaged or covered.
If the tra c signs are hard to detect, e.g. due
R
to dirt, snow or insu cient lighting, or
because they are covered.
If the information in the navigation system's
R
digital map is incorrect or out-of-date.
If signs are ambiguous, e.g. road signs in road-
R
works or in adjacent lanes.
