EC ECO displa O display function y function
The ECO display shows an evaluation of your driv-
ing style on the driver display depending on the
situation. This enables you to check the e ciency
of your driving style and adjust it if necessary. The
ECO display menu shows a ball
2
that will roll
forwards or backwards on a stylised road in the
direction of travel according to the driving charac-
teristics.
Above and below the road, lines mark the area for
an e cient driving style
3
. Ball
2
will light up in
green if it is rolling within these lines. Outside the
lines, the ball will light up in orange.
The ECO display assesses the following criteria for
an economical driving style:
R
coasting at the right time
R
consistent speed
R
moderate acceleration
The overall assessment of your driving style "from
start" is indicated using stars
1
. It starts with
ve empty stars, which you can ll one a er the
other if you drive e ciently. When all ve stars are
lled, a glow appears in the background.

You can call up the ECO display function via
the Classic menu (

Depending on the selected recuperation level, the
electric motors are operated as an alternator
when in overrun mode and during braking in order
to charge the high-voltage battery while driving.
As soon as you release the accelerator pedal
when the vehicle is in motion, recuperation in
overrun mode is initiated.
The higher the recuperation, the more sharply the
vehicle is braked when coasting and the more
electrical energy is fed into the high-voltage bat-
tery.
The regenerative brake system has the following
characteristics:
R
supports braking with electronically controlled
brake force boosting
R
converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into
electric energy
%
If you brake hard, the mechanical brake is
also used. This means that the maximum
recuperative energy cannot be recovered. The
more you drive and brake in an anticipatory
manner, the more e ciently energy can be
recuperated.
Syst System limits em limits
The braking e ect of the electric motor during
recuperation in overrun mode may be reduced or
may not be available at all in the following situa-
tions:
R

increases
