The gears will automatically disengage and the
vehicle will roll freely, without the effect of the
engine brake. While the vehicle rolls, the en-
gine runs at idling speed.
Stopping inertia mode
●
Press the brake or the accelerator pedal.
To take advantage of the engine's inertia
mode, simply remove your foot from the ac-
celerator.
Applying both the inertia mode (= prolonged
section with less energy) and inertia discon-
nection (= shorter section without the need
for fuel) facilitates improved fuel consumption
and emission balance.

vidual profiles. If the engine is set to Eco in
the Individual profile, it activates when the op-
erating conditions are met, regardless of how
smoothly you remove your foot from the ac-
celerator.
