Mercedes-Benz EQA 2021, Owner'S Manual, Page: 161 / 457

When the vehicle nears an event, ECO Assist will
calculate the optimal speed for minimal energy
consumption based on the distance and speed.
"Foot o the accelerator" recommendation 3 will
appear on the instrument display.
If you take your foot o the accelerator pedal in
good time, the remaining segments on the display
will successively turn green until the event shown
is reached. The drivetrain will be set for minimal
energy consumption. The vehicle will recuperate
autonomously and thus charge the high-voltage
battery.

You can also manually increase or reduce
recuperation. However, ECO Assist is availa-
ble only in the h à setting (
/
page 156).
If there is no response to "Foot o the accelera-
tor" recommendation 3 , the segments will
remain white.
The event will be shown for a short time a er it
has been passed.
If the event involves a vehicle in front, all seg-
ments will immediately turn green once there is a
response to "Foot o the accelerator" prompt 3 .
If ECO Assist cannot identify a recommendation
for adjusting the driving style for the event ahead,
nothing will be displayed. The system will be pas-
sive.

ECO Assist can function even more precisely if
the route is adhered to when route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available without
active route guidance. Not all information and
tra c situations can be foreseen. The quality
depends on the available map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible
for keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed and for braking in good
time. You must be ready to brake at all times irre-
spective of whether the system is active.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
R
If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insu cient
illumination of the road, highly variable shade
conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
R
If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming tra c,
direct sunlight or re ections.
R
If the windscreen is dirty in the vicinity of the
multifunction camera.
R
If the multifunction camera is misted up, dam-
aged or obscured.
R
If road signs are hard to detect, e.g. due to
dirt, snow or insu cient lighting, or because
they are obscured.
R
If the digital road map of the navigation sys-
tem has incorrect or outdated information.
R
If signs are ambiguous, e.g. road signs in road-
works or in adjacent lanes.
R
If the radar sensors are dirty or obscured.
R
When you drive on roads with steep uphill or
downhill gradients.
R
If there are narrow vehicles in front, such as
bicycles or motorcycles.
