ECO Assist function
%
The following function depends on the equip-
ment and the country.
ECO Assist analyses data for the vehicle's expec-
ted route. This allows the system to optimally
adjust the driving style for the route ahead, save
fuel and recuperate. If the system detects an
event ahead and the vehicle nears the event, ECO
Assist will calculate the optimum speed for maxi-
mum fuel economy and recuperative energy
based on the distance, speed and downhill gradi-
ent.
If the deceleration provided by ECO Assist is not
sufficient, you must also brake with the service
brake. This applies in particular if, for example,
you pull back into traffic and the distance to the
vehicle in front is very short.
The function will be active in the following circum-
stances:
