Coasting
Principle
The function helps to conserve fuel.
To do this, under certain conditions the en-
gine is automatically decoupled from the
transmission when selector lever position D
is set. The vehicle continues traveling in
Neutral to reduce consumption. Selector
lever position D remains engaged.
This driving condition is referred to as
coasting.
As soon as you step on the brake or acceler-
ator pedal, the engine is automatically cou-
pled again.
General information
A proactive driving style helps the driver to
use the function often and supports the effi-
cient effect of coasting.
Functional requirements
The function is available in the speed range
from approx. 15 mph/25 km/h up to
100 mph/160 km/h.
– Accelerator pedal and brake pedal are
not operated.
– The selector lever is in selector lever po-
sition D.
