ECO PRO bonus range
A modified driving style helps you
extend your driving distance.
The range extension can be dis‐
played as the bonus range in the
instrument cluster.
The efficiency display includes the bonus range.
If the bonus range appears in gray, the current
driving style is inefficient.
The display turns blue as soon as all conditions
for efficient driving are met.
The intervals for resetting the bonus range de‐
pend on the settings of the trip data.

ing.
▷ Pointer in the area of arrow 2: display when

If the acceleration is inefficient, the area between

sumption is colored red.

Coasting
Principle
Under certain conditions the engine is automati‐
cally decoupled from the transmission in the D
selector lever position. The vehicle continues
traveling with the engine idling to reduce con‐
sumption. Selector lever position D remains en‐
gaged.
This driving condition is referred to as coasting.
As soon as the brake or accelerator pedal is de‐
pressed, the engine is automatically coupled to
the transmission again.
