of the brakes and engage neutral if nec-
essary
R

unnecessary acceleration and decelera-

R

The eco score calculation takes into
account your driving characteristics from
the start of the journey to its completion.
Therefore, there are dynamic changes in
the percentage count at the start of a jour-
ney. During a prolonged driving time,
these changes are smaller. For dynamic
changes, perform a manual reset
(
Y page 126).
When the fuel level reaches the reserve range,
the remaining fuel storage is shown in the
multifunction display instead of the per-
centage value.
For further information on the eco score dis-
play, see (
Y page 126).

The percentage count in the eco score display
only appears after a distance of approx. 400 m
has been covered. A higher percentage count
indicates a more economical driving style. If
the ignition remains switched off for longer
than 4 hours, the eco score display in the on-
board computer will be automatically reset.
Vehicles with manual transmission: the per-
centage count in the eco score display is an
average value based on the following three
categories:
R
accelerate
(evaluation of all acceleration
processes)
-
The bar fills up: moderate acceleration,
especially at higher speeds
-
The bar empties: sporty acceleration
R
anticipatory
(assessment of driving
behaviour at all times)
-
The bar fills up: keep your distance,
release the accelerator early and allow
the vehicle to coast without using the
brakes. Maintain a constant speed and
avoid unnecessary acceleration and
deceleration.
-
The bar empties: fluctuations in speed,
frequent braking
R
shift
(evaluation of all gear changes)
-
The bar fills up: observe the gearshift
recommendations in the multifunction
display
-
The bar empties: driving with the engine
speed too high or too low
Vehicles with automatic transmission: the
percentage count in the eco score display is
an average value based on the following two
categories:
R
accelerate
(evaluation of all acceleration
processes)
-
The bar fills up: moderate acceleration,
especially at higher speeds
-
The bar empties: sporty acceleration
R

The bar fills up: keep your distance,
release the accelerator early and allow
the vehicle to coast without using the
brakes. Maintain a constant speed and
avoid unnecessary acceleration and
deceleration.
-

An economical driving style involves driving
with a moderate engine speed.
Vehicles with manual transmission: to ach-
ieve a higher value in the
shift
category,
observe the gearshift recommendations.
