Eco Display - Mercedes-Benz S-Class Operator's Manual

ECO display

The ECO display provides feedback on how
economical your driving characteristics are.
The ECO display assists you in achieving the
most economical driving style for the
selected settings and prevailing conditions.
Your driving style can significantly influence
the vehicle's consumption.
The ECO display consists of three bars:
Acceleration Acceleration
R
Constant Constant
R
Coasting Coasting
R
The percent value is the average value of the
three bars. The three bars and the mean value
begin at the value of 50%. A higher
percentage indicates a more economical
driving style.
The ECO display does not indicate the actual
fuel consumption. A fixed percentage count
in the ECO display does not indicate a fixed
consumption.
Apart from driving style, consumption is
dependent on many factors such as, e.g.:
Load
R
Tire pressure
R
Cold start
R
Choice of route
R
Electrical consumers switched on
R
These factors are not included in the ECO
display.
The evaluation of your driving style is carried
out using the following three categories:
Acceleration Acceleration (evaluation of all
R
acceleration processes):
The bar fills up: moderate acceleration,
-
especially at higher speeds
The bar empties: sporty acceleration
-
Constant Constant (assessment of driving behavior
R
at all times):
The bar fills up: constant speed and
-
avoidance of unnecessary acceleration
and deceleration
The bar empties: fluctuations in speed
-
Coasting Coasting (assessment of all deceleration
R
processes):
The bar fills up: anticipatory driving,
-
keeping your distance and early release
of the accelerator. The vehicle can coast
without use of the brakes.
The bar empties: frequent braking

An economical driving style specially
requires driving at moderate engine
speeds.

On long journeys at a constant speed, e.g.
on the highway, only the bar for

The ECO display summarizes the driving
characteristics from the start of the journey
to its completion. For this reason, the bars
change dynamically at the beginning of the
journey. On longer journeys, there are
fewer changes. For more dynamic changes,
carry out a manual reset.
