If ECO Assist is active, the "Foot off the acceler‐
ator" 3 symbol will be shown on the
tance menu on the multifunction display, on the
head-up display and beside the transmission
position display.
When the vehicle nears an event, ECO Assist will
calculate the optimal speed for minimal energy
consumption based on the distance, speed and
downhill gradient. The "Foot off the accelerator"

If the driver lifts off the accelerator pedal in
good time, the remaining segments on the dis‐

If the event involves a vehicle in front, the sym‐

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 available 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.
