Route-ahead assistant
The concept The system helps to conserve fuel and pro‐
motes a proactively driving style. It can detect
certain upcoming sections of the journey
based on the navigation data and alert the
driver to them in good time.
The detected route sections, such as built-up areas or changes of road require the driver to
reduce speed.
General information
This alert is issued even if the upcoming route
section cannot yet be detected while driving.
The alert is displayed until the route section is
reached.
If an alert is received, the vehicle's speed and
its fuel consumption can be reduced by back‐
ing off the accelerator and coasting until the
route section is reached.
Depending on the situation, the system also
uses the engine brake automatically with a
pausing of the coast, refer to page 245, func‐
tion.
Functional requirements
This function is available in ECO PRO mode.
The system depends on the timeliness and
quality of the navigation data.
The navigation data can be updated.
Display
Display in the instrument cluster The note about a route section ahead
is made as recommendation to let the

1."My Vehicle"2."Technology in action"3."Driving style analysis"
Using the route-ahead assistant
An upcoming route section is displayed:
1.Back off the accelerator.2.Allow the vehicle to coast until the route
section indicated is reached.3.If necessary, adjust speed by braking.
System limits
The system is not available in the following sit‐
uations:
▷Speed less than 30 mph, approx. 50 km/h.▷Temporary and variable speed limit, e.g.,
for road works.▷Quality of navigation data inadequate.▷Cruise control active.
Coasting
The concept The system helps to conserve fuel.
To do this, under certain conditions the engine
is automatically decoupled from the transmis‐
sion when selector lever position D is set. The
vehicle continues traveling with the engine idling to reduce fuel consumption. Selector
lever position D remains engaged.
This driving condition is referred to as coast‐
ing.
As soon as you step on the brake or accelera‐
tor pedal, the engine is automatically coupled
again.
Information Coasting is a component of the ECO PRO, re‐
fer to page 241, driving mode.
Coasting is automatically activated when ECO
PRO mode is called via the Driving Dynamics
Control.
The function is available in a certain speed
range.
A proactively driving style helps the driver to
use the function as often as possible and sup‐
ports the fuel-conserving effect of coasting.
Safety mode
The function is not available under one of the
following conditions.▷DSC OFF or TRACTION activated.▷Driving in the dynamic limit range and on
steep uphill or downhill grades.▷Battery charge status temporarily too low
or vehicle electrical system drawing exces‐
sive current.
Functional requirements
In ECO PRO mode, this function is available in
a speed range from approximately 30 mph, ap‐
prox. 50 km/h to 100 mph, approx. 160 km/h, if
the following conditions are met:
▷Accelerator pedal and brake pedal are not
operated.▷The selector lever is in selector lever posi‐
