236 Driving and parking
Brake the vehicle yourself and/or take
#
evasive action.
ECO Assist is active only in hÃ
(
page 234).
/
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, ECO
Assist analyses data for the vehicle's expected
route. This allows the system to optimally adjust
the driving style for the route ahead, use minimal
energy and recuperate as much as possible. If the
system has detected an event ahead or a vehicle
in front and the vehicle is approaching the event,
ECO Assist will calculate an optimised speed pro-
file based on the distance, speed and available
route information.
If you release the accelerator pedal in this case,
intelligent recuperation will start in overrun mode.
The deceleration in overrun mode may not be suf-
ficient depending on the driving situation. The
vehicle will not be decelerated to a standstill. Also
brake with the service brake if necessary. Always
adapt your speed to the driving situation and keep
sufficient distance. This will be the case particu-
larly if, for example, the detected vehicle ahead
stops in front of you or you pull away again in
slow-moving traffic and the distance to the vehicle
in front is very short.

ECO Assist can also be shown on the head-up

If a route event that requires an adjustment of
your driving style is detected ahead, correspond-

and the ý symbol (grey) will be
displayed.
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
and you press the accelerator pedal, you will end
control by ECO Assist. This does not apply in the
case of a vehicle in front.
The ECO Assist display will be hidden again in the
following cases:
You do not react to the ECO Assist recommen-
R
dation for a long time.
You press the accelerator pedal while ECO
R
Assist is intervening because of a route event
ahead. This does not apply in the case of a
vehicle in front.
ECO Assist cannot identify any further recom-
R
mendations from the route ahead.
In addition to a vehicle in front ¥, ECO Assist
can detect the following route events
