STARTING AND DRIVING
|| This function is most effective in driving situa-
tions where the vehicle can roll freely for a
long distance, e.g. on roads with slight down-
grades or when a decrease in speed is antici-
pated, such as when approaching an area with
a lower speed limit.
The steering wheel paddles* are being
used for manual shifting.
On a level road, the vehicle's actual speed
may differ from the set speed when cruise
control is active and the vehicle is coast-
ing.

Deactivating and turning off Eco Coast
In certain situations, it may be advisable to
deactivate or turn off Eco Coast so that engine
braking can be used. These situations might
include driving down steep hills or before
passing another vehicle to help ensure this
can be done as safely as possible.
On a steep uphill gradient, the vehicle's
speed is reduced until the transmission
downshifts. Reduced acceleration is then
initiated in order to reach the set speed.
Activating Eco Coast
The function is activated when the accelerator
pedal is fully released and the following condi-
tions are met:
On a downhill gradient in which the vehi-
cle is coasting, the vehicle's actual speed
may be slightly above or below the set
speed. The function uses engine braking
to keep the set speed. If necessary, the
normal brakes are also applied.
Deactivate Eco Coast by
Eco drive mode is activated.
The gear selector is in D.

pressing the accelerator or brake pedal
moving the gear selector to manual mode
Using the steering wheel paddles* to shift.

The vehicle's speed is approximately
65-140 km/h (40-87 mph).
Turn off Eco Coast by
The gradient of the downgrade is less than
approximately 6%.
•
switching to another drive mode*

•
deactivating Eco drive mode in Function
view.
COASTING will be displayed in the instrument
panel when Eco Coast is being used.
It is possible to roll short distances even with-
out Eco Coast in order to help conserve fuel.
However, for the best fuel economy, Eco
Coast should be activated and used to roll
longer distances.
Limitations
Eco Coast is not available if
the engine and/or transmission are not at
normal working temperatures

the gear selector is moved from D to man-
ual shifting mode
Cruise control Eco Cruise
When cruise control is activated in the Eco
drive mode, the vehicle's acceleration and
deceleration will be slower than in other drive
modes to help further conserve fuel. Because
of this, the vehicle's actual speed may be
slightly above or below the set speed.
the vehicle's speed is not within the
65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) range
the gradient of the downgrade is more
than approximately 6%
