% ECO Assist will be active only in drive pro-
grams ; and A.
ECO Assist analyses data for the vehicle's expec-
ted route. This allows the system to optimise 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 maximum fuel
economy and recuperative energy based on the
distance, speed and downhill gradient.
If the deceleration provided by ECO Assist is not
sufficient, you must also brake with the service
brake. This will be the case particularly if, for
example, you pull away again in slow-moving traf-
fic and the distance to the vehicle in front is very
short.

Route event ahead
If a route event ahead or vehicle in front is detec-
ted that requires an adjustment of your driving
style for improved efficiency, symbol

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 will end control by ECO
Assist.
