used to save fuel with a foresighted driving style.
The engine is declutched and no longer brakes the
vehicle -the vehicle can
roll out over a longer dis­
t a nce.
Switch-on condit io n: the selector lever must be in
positio n D.

When the
Eco driving mode is sel ected in vehicles
with Driving Mode Selection ~page 248 and the
accelerator is depressed
fully beyond the pressure

A WARNING
Rapid acceleration can cause loss of traction
and skidding, particularly on slippery roads .
This can cause you to lose control of the ~e­
hicle, which can lead to accidents and sen·
ous injuries.
• Always adjust your driving style in ac·
cordance with the flow of traffic.
• Only use kickdown or fast acceleration if
visibility, weather road and traffic conditions ' t permit, and other road users are not put a
risk due to the acceleration and the driving
style.
