Mercedes-Benz GLC 200 4MATIC, Owner'S Manual

Page: 195 / 601

The ECO display assesses the following criteria for
an economical driving style:
R
coasting at the right times
R
consistent speed
R
moderate acceleration
The overall assessment of your driving style "from
start" is indicated using stars 1 . It starts with
five empty stars, which you can fill one after the
other if you drive efficiently. When all five stars are
filled, a glow will appear in the background.
% You can call up the ECO display function via
the Classic menu (

ECO Assist function (vehicles with 48 V on-board
electrical system)
For plug-in hybrids, note the ECO Assist informa-
tion (

ECO Assist is active only in drive pro-
grams ; and A .
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 is especially the case if, for example,
you pull away again in slow-moving traffic and the
distance to the vehicle in front is very short.
1 "Foot off the accelerator" recommendation
2
Route event ahead
If a route event that can be dealt with more effi-
ciently by adjusting your driving style is detected
ahead, corresponding symbol 2 and the ý
symbol will be displayed in grey.
If you release the accelerator pedal, the
ý
symbol will turn green and recuperation in over-
run mode will be initiated. If the deceleration is
not sufficient, also apply the service brake.
The display will disappear as soon as ECO Assist
cannot identify any further recommendations
from the route ahead.
