roll in idle to reduce consumption. Selector lever
position D remains engaged.
This vehicle condition is called coasting.
As soon as the brake or accelerator pedal is
pressed, the engine is automatically connected
again.
General
Coasting is a component of the ECO PRO drive
mode and the COMFORT drive mode.
Coasting is automatically activated by calling up
the ECO PRO drive mode or COMFORT drive
mode via the drive experience switch and cannot
be deactivated.
A precautionary driving style helps to use the
function frequently and supports the consump‐
tion-reducing effect of coasting.
