The ECO display shows an evaluation of your driv-
ing style on the driver's display depending on the
situation. This enables you to check the efficiency
of your driving style and adjust it if necessary. The
ECO display
menu shows a ball
forwards or backwards on a stylised road in the
direction of travel according to the driving charac-
teristics.
Above and below the road, lines mark the area for
an efficient driving style 3. Ball
green if it is rolling within these lines. Outside the
lines, the ball will light up in orange.
The ECO display assesses the following criteria for
an economical driving style:
Coasting at the right times
R
Consistent speed
R
Moderate acceleration
R
The overall assessment of your driving style "from
start" is indicated using stars 1. It starts with
five empty stars, which you can fill one after the
other if you drive efficiently. When all five stars are
filled, a glow will appear in the background.

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.

Route event ahead
If a route event or vehicle that requires an adjust-
ment of your driving style for more efficiency is
detected ahead, corresponding symbol
the ý symbol will be displayed in grey.
If you release the accelerator pedal, the ý
symbol will turn green and recuperation in over-
run mode will be initiated. If the deceleration is
not sufficient, also apply the service brake. If ECO
Assist intervenes for a route event ahead (not for
a vehicle in front) and you then press the acceler-
ator pedal again, you end ECO Assist's control.
