Route event ahead

ECO Assist can also be shown on the head-up
display.
If a route event that requires an adjustment of
your driving style is detected ahead, correspond-
ing symbol
2
and the ý symbol (gray) 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 then press the accelerator pedal, ECO
Assist's control is ended. This does not apply in
the case of a vehicle traveling in front.
The ECO Assist display is hidden again in the fol-
lowing cases:
You do not react to the ECO Assist recommen-
R
dation for a long time.
You press the accelerator while ECO Assist is
R
intervening for a route event ahead. This does
not apply in the case of a vehicle traveling 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
ing on the vehicle's equipment:
~ Traffic circle
¡ S-curve
¢ Sharp curve
£ T-intersection
¤ Downhill gradient
¦ Speed limit
ECO Assist can also react to other intersections
or turns if you activate the turn signal indicator in
good time.

On roads with an obligation to drive in a lane
as far to the right as possible, vehicles driving
in the lane to your left will also be recognized
as vehicles ahead of you.
To enable ECO Assist to react to future route
events, the equipment-dependent speed adapta-
tion functions of Active Distance Assist must be
active (
page 243).

System limits
If the calculated route is adhered to when route
guidance is active, ECO Assist will operate with
2
greater accuracy. The basic function is also availa-
depend-
ble without active route guidance. Not all informa-
tion and traffic situations can be foreseen. The
quality depends on the map data.

ECO Assist will be available after driving off,
as soon as the sensor check is completed.
