The ECO Assist display is hidden again in the fol-
lowing cases:
You do not react to the ECO Assist recommen-
R
dation for a long time.
ECO Assist cannot identify any further recom-
R
mendations from the route ahead.
In addition to vehicle in front ¥ the following
route events 2 can be detected by ECO Assist,
depending on the vehicle's equipment:
~ Roundabout
¡ S-bend
¢ Sharp bend
£ T-junction
¤ Downhill gradient
¦ Speed limit
ECO Assist can also react to other intersections
or junctions if you activate the turn signal indica-
tor in good time.
%
On roads with a right-hand lane, vehicles driv-
ing in the lane to your left are also recognised
as vehicles ahead of you.
To enable ECO Assist to react to future route
events, the equipment-dependent speed adapta-
tion functions of Active Distance Assist must be
active ( page 341).

System limits
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 traffic situations can be foreseen. The
quality depends on the map data.

ECO Assist is available after driving off, as
soon as the sensor check is completed.
