You can also manually increase or reduce
the recuperation in drive program Î.
However, ECO Assist is available only in the
hà setting (/ page 29).
If there is no response to "Foot off the accelera‐
tor" prompt 3, the segments will remain white.
The event will be shown for a short time after it
has been passed.
If the event involves a vehicle in front, the sym‐
bol will be shown in green as soon as there is a
response to "Foot off the accelerator" prompt
3.
If the system does not intervene during the
event ahead, nothing will be displayed. The sys‐
tem is passive.
System limits
ECO Assist can function even more precisely if
the route is adhered to when route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available with‐
out active route guidance. Not all information
and traffic situations can be foreseen. The qual‐
ity depends on the map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsi‐
ble for keeping a safe distance from the vehicle
in front, for vehicle speed and for braking in
good time. The driver must be ready to brake at
all times irrespective of whether the system
intervenes.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
R
If visibility is poor (e.g. due to insufficient illu‐
mination of the road, highly variable shade
conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray).
R
If there is glare (e.g. from oncoming traffic,
direct sunlight or reflections).
R
If there is dirt on the windshield in the vicin‐
ity of the multifunction camera or the camera
is fogged up, damaged or obscured.
R
If traffic signs are hard to discern (e.g. due to
dirt, snow or insufficient lighting, or because
they are obscured).
R
If the information on the navigation system's
digital map is incorrect, insufficient or out of
date.
R
If the signs are ambiguous, e.g. traffic signs
in roadworks or in adjacent lanes.

Operation of the haptic accelerator pedal
The haptic accelerator pedal features an addi‐
tional point of resistance to help you drive fully
electrically.
Characteristics of the additional point of resist‐
ance:
R
It is only available in drive program Î.
R
It indicates the maximum available electric
performance.
R
It is used when the electric motor (POWER)
power display is full.
Function of the route-based operating-mode
strategy
In drive programs A and ;, data on the
planned route are analyzed when route guidance
is active.
