further away.
If ECO Assist is active, the "Foot off the accelera-
tor" symbol 3 will appear on the instrument dis-
play and on the head-up display beside the trans-
mission position display.
When the vehicle nears an event, ECO Assist will
calculate the optimal speed for minimal energy
consumption based on the distance, speed and
gradient. The "Foot off the accelerator" symbol 3
will appear on the instrument display.
If you take your foot off 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 battery.

You can also manually increase or reduce the
recuperation in drive program Î . However,
ECO Assist is available only in the

If there is no response to the "Foot off the accel-
erator" prompt 3 , the segments will remain
white.
