Eco assistance
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
Fig. 17 Eco Assistance display (illustration).
The Eco Assistance function supports you
during defensive and energy-saving driving
with notifications in the digital instrument
cluster that appear according to the situation
→ page 130.
If you are approaching a junction, for exam-
ple, the symbol is displayed together with
an event in the digital instrument cluster
Overview of displayed symbols
Take your foot off the accelerator.
Junction ahead.
Motorway exit.
Roundabout ahead.
Left-hand bend.
Right-hand bend.
Speed limit with dynamic speed dis-
play.
The symbols displayed may differ
slightly depending on vehicle equip-
ment and model. Symbols may be altered or
upgraded by a system update.
As soon as you follow the instruction and
take your foot off the accelerator, the vehicle
will adapt brake energy recuperation and the
driving speed, depending on the selected
driving profile and distance to the event
When the system is active, Eco Assis-
tance can also increase brake energy
recuperation without displaying a message.
This may be the case if you take your foot off
the accelerator when there is a vehicle in
front, for example. Here, brake energy recu-
peration is adapted to the vehicle in front
without any message being displayed.
The Eco Assistance function uses the route
data of the Infotainment system and the sen-
sors of some assist systems. The most proba-
ble route is used if the route guidance func-
tion is not active.
You can override the intervention of the Eco
Assistance function at any time by pressing
the accelerator.
The Eco Assistance function can be activated
and deactivated in the assist system settings
in the Infotainment system → page 29.
The Eco Assistance function will be automati-
cally deactivated temporarily in the following
cases:
— Position B.
—

driving profile.
— Driving with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
(ACC) or cruise control system (CCS).
Eco Assistance will be activated again when
you leave these conditions if the function is
activated in the assist system settings as de-
fault.
The Eco assistance function is dependent on
the equipment level and is not available in all
countries.
