ECO Assist is active only in drive programs ;

System limitations
ECO Assist can function more precisely if the
route is maintained when route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available with‐
out active route guidance. Not all information
and traffic situations can be foreseen. The qual‐
ity depends on the map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsi‐
ble for keeping a safe distance from the vehicle
in front, for vehicle speed and for braking in
good time. The driver must be ready to brake at
all times irrespective of whether the system
intervenes.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
R
If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insuffi‐
cient illumination of the road, highly variable
shade conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy
spray.
R
If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
direct sunlight or reflections.
R
If there is dirt on the windscreen in the vicin‐
ity of the multifunction camera or the camera
is misted up, damaged or obscured.
R
If the traffic signs are hard to detect, e.g. due
to dirt or snow or insufficient lighting, or
because they are obscured.
R
If the information on the navigation system's
digital map is incorrect or out of date.
R
If the signs are ambiguous, e.g. traffic signs
in roadworks or in adjacent lanes.
