Eco Assistance  
The Eco Assistance function supports the driver by providing situation-dependent recommendations on the  
instrument cluster display for an anticipatory and energy-saving driving style.  
The Eco Assistance function uses the navigation data of the Infotainment system and the sensors of some assist  
systems. The most probable route is used if the route guidance function is not active.  
The Eco Assistance function is dependent on the equipment level and is not available in all countries.  
Driving with Eco Assistance  
Fig. 1 Eco Assistance display (illustration).  
When you are approaching a speed limit or a route to be followed, the symbol and information about the type of  
event are shown in the display of the instrument cluster.  
As soon as you take your foot off the accelerator, the vehicle uses coasting and the engine braking effect (→ Driving  
economically) to adjust the speed. The vehicle takes into account the distance to the event.  
The system does not use the vehicle brake.  
When the system is active, Eco Assistance can increase the deceleration and adapt the speed to a vehicle  
detected ahead even if no message is displayed.  
You can override Eco Assistance interventions at any time by accelerating.
