System limits
If the calculated route is adhered to when route
guidance is active, ECO Assist will operate with
greater accuracy. The basic function is also availa-
ble without active route guidance. Not all informa-
tion 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 system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
R
If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient
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 vicinity
of the multifunction camera or if the camera is
misted up, damaged or obscured.
R
If the radar sensors are dirty or damaged.
R
If the traffic signs are hard to detect, e.g. due
to dirt, snow or insufficient lighting, or
because they are covered.
R
If the information in the navigation system's
digital map is incorrect or out of date.
R
If signs are ambiguous, e.g. road signs in road-
works or in adjacent lanes.
