car's speed can be slightly above or below the
set speed.
On a smooth road, the car's speed can devi-
•
ate from the set speed when the cruise con-
trol is active and the car free-rolls.
On a steep uphill slope, the car's speed
•
drops until a downshift is made
reduced acceleration starts in order to
achieve the set speed.
On a downhill slope where the car free-rolls,
•
the car's speed can be slightly above or
below the set speed. The function uses nor-

Eco gauge in the 8-inch driver display.
The ECO gauge indicates how fuel-efficient the
driving is:
With fuel-efficient driving, the gauge shows a
•
low value with the pointer in the green zone.
With non-fuel-efficient driving, e.g. during
•
heavy braking or heavy acceleration, the
gauge shows a high value.
The ECO gauge also has an indicator to show
how a reference driver would drive the car under
the same driving conditions. This is indicated with
the short pointer on the gauge.
ECO climate control
In the Eco drive mode, eco climate control is acti-
vated automatically in the passenger compart-
ment in order to reduce energy consumption.
STARTING AND DRIVING
NOTE
Eco
When the drive mode is activated, sev-
eral parameters in the climate control sys-
tem's settings are changed, and several elec-

functionality is only regained by switching off
Eco drive mode or adapting Individual
mode with full climate functionality.
In the event of difficulties due to misting, press
the button for max. defroster which has normal
functionality.
