ECO Assist is active only in drive pro-

ECO Assist analyses data for the vehicle's expec-
ted route. This allows the system to optimally
adjust the driving style for the route ahead, save
fuel and recuperate. If the system detects an
event ahead and the vehicle nears the event, ECO
Assist will calculate the optimum speed for maxi-
mum fuel economy and recuperative energy
based on the distance, speed and downhill gradi-
ent.
If the deceleration provided by ECO Assist is not
sufficient, you must also brake with the service
brake. This is especially the case if, for example,
you pull away again in slow-moving traffic and the
distance to the vehicle in front is very short.
