272 Driving and parking
keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front,
for vehicle speed and for braking in good time.
& WARNING Risk of accident if ECO Assist
does not provide sufficient deceleration
ECO Assist only brakes your vehicle when you
take your foot off the gas pedal. If vehicles are
detected late, e.g. after tight curves, or if you
do not react immediately to the ECO Assist
display, the deceleration may not be sufficient.
React promptly to the ECO Assist recom-
#
mendation and take your foot off the gas
pedal.
Adjust your speed to the driving condi-
#
tions and maintain a suitable distance
from the vehicle in front.
Brake the vehicle yourself and/or take
#
evasive action.
ECO Assist is active only in hÃ
( page 271).

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, ECO
Assist analyses data for the vehicle's expected
route. This allows the system to optimally adjust
the driving style for the route ahead, use minimal
energy and recuperate as much as possible. If the
system has detected an event ahead or a vehicle
in front and the vehicle is approaching the event,
ECO Assist calculates the optimised speed profile
based on the distance, speed and available route
information.
If you release the accelerator pedal in this case,
intelligent recuperation starts in overrun mode. If
ECO Assist has detected a vehicle ahead or a sta-
tionary vehicle, it can brake your vehicle to a
standstill. This may be the case, for example, at
the end of a traffic jam or if the detected vehicle
ahead stops in front of you.
If the deceleration provided by ECO Assist is not
sufficient, you must also brake with the service
brake.
At a low driving speed, e.g. in a parking garage or
on play streets, there is no regulation on station-
ary vehicles and therefore no display.

ECO Assist can also be shown in the head-up
display.
If a route event that requires an adjustment of
your driving style is detected ahead, correspond-

displayed.
If you release the accelerator pedal, the ý
symbol turns green and recuperation in overrun
mode is initiated.
