ECO Assist can function even more precisely if
th ero ute is adhered towhen route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available without
active route guidance. Not all information and
tra1c situations can be fore seen. The quality
depends on theav ailable map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible
fo rke eping a safe distance from theve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed and for braking in good
time. You must be ready tobrake at all times ir re-
specti veof whe ther the system is active.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
R If visibility is poor, e.g. due toinsu1cient illu-

R Ifth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming tra1c,
direct sunlight or re0ections.

The /rst point of resis tance on the haptic

nomical driving style.
R When theElectric Intelligence route option is
switched on and route guidance is active, a
ch equered 0ag on the speedome ter will indi-
cate the maximum permissible speed recom-
mended byactive range moni toring. It is the
driver's ownre sponsibility tocomply with
th em in order toreach the next scheduled

ator pedal:
- Automatically limits the speed tothe maxi-
mum permissible speed de tected byTra1c
Sign Assist
- Additionally limits the speed tothe maxi-
mum permissible speed recommended by active
range moni toring when theElectric
Intelligence route option is on and route
guidance is active in order toreach the
next scheduled charging station.
% IfTra1c Sign Assist does not de tect a maxi-
mum permissible speed and range moni toring
is inactive, the last speci/ed maximum per-
missible speed will be used as the limit speed.
The maximum limit speed set bythe /r stpoint
of resis tance is 140 km/h.
The limit speed set bythe /rst point of resis tance
will be sh own on the speedome ter. The segments
between the cur rently driven speed and the limit
speed will light up in green. For e1ciency rea-
sons, small deviations between the cur rently
driven speed and the limit speed are permitted.
If yo u depress the accelerator pedal be yond the
/r st point of resis tance, the limit speed will be
deactivated. The green segments on the speed-
ome ter will not be shown. When the accelerator
pedal is before the /r stpoint of resis tance again,
th e limit speed will be reactivated, thus making
sure that the maximum permissible speed is main-
ta ined again. If a
vehicle in front is de tected, the speed will be
re duced in order tofollow theve hicle in front at
an adjusted dis tance.
If th eve hicle de tects road and tra1c conditions
th at requ ire deceleration, theve hicle will no lon-
ge r be propelled and will coast. Tocause theve hi-
cle todecelerate, release the accelerator pedal.
How much theve hicle will decelerate automati-
cally when the accelerator pedal is released
depends on the set recuperation le vel
( / page 158). In hÃ, deceleration will be
automatic where there are vehicles in front, tra1c
signs, roundabouts and bends. In all other recu-
peration le vels, a permanently de/ned overrun
to rque will be set. If the situation calls for it, you
must also depress the brake pedal rega rdless of
th e selected recuperation le vel.
If yo u activate Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
or cruise control in drive prog ram Í, the limit
speed will be deactivated bythe /rst point of
re sis tance. If you deactivate the function again,
th e limit speed set bythe point of resis tance will
be switched on again. 162
