The event will be shown for a short time after it
has been passed.
If the event involves a vehicle in front, the symbol
will be shown in green as soon as there is a
response to "Foot off the accelerator" prompt 3 .
If the system does not intervene during the event
ahead, nothing will be displayed. The system will
be passive.
System limits
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
traffic situations can be foreseen. The quality
depends on the 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. The driver must be ready to brake at all
times, irrespective of whether the system inter-
venes.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
R
If visibility is poor, e.g. due to insufficient illu-
mination 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 area of
the multifunction camera or the camera is
misted up, damaged or obscured.
R
If road signs are hard to detect, e.g. due to
dirt, snow or insufficient lighting, or because
they are obscured.
R
If the information on the navigation system's
digital map is incorrect, insufficient or out of
date.
R
If signs are ambiguous, e.g. road signs in road-
works or in adjacent lanes.
Function of the route-based operating-mode strat-
egy (plug-in hybrid)
%
The following function is country-dependent
and available only in conjunction with an inte-
grated navigation system.
The route-based operating-mode strategy is active
only in drive programs A and ; . When
route guidance is active, data on the planned
route is analysed. This function can be activated
and deactivated in the multimedia system
(
/
page 307).
If the function is active, data on the further course
of the route is evaluated. This includes e.g. road
type, speed limitations and altitude data.
The hybrid system then adapts the operating
strategy to the further course of the route:
R
Use of electrical energy and the combustion
engine are adapted.
R
State of charge of the high-voltage battery is
controlled accordingly.
R
Electrical energy is reserved especially for
electric mode, e.g. urban route sections.
