ECO drive mode
The Eco drive mode optimizes the vehicle's driv- ing characteristics for more fuel-efficient andeco-friendly driving.
Use this mode to save fuel and promote eco- friendly driving. When ECO mode is activated, the following cha- racteristics are modified:
• The automatic transmission's shifting points.
• Engine control and accelerator pedalresponse.
• Eco Coast functionality is activated andengine braking is disabled when the acceler-ator pedal is released at speeds between65 and 140 km/h (40 and 87 mph).
• Some of the climate system settings will bereduced or switched off.
• The suspension's self-leveling function
* will
lower ground clearance to help reduce windresistance.
• Information will be shown in the ECO gaugein the instrument panel to help promotemore eco-friendly and economical driving.
Coast function Eco CoastEco Coast essentially deactivates engine braking,allowing the vehicle's kinetic energy to be usedto roll greater distances. When the driver releasesthe accelerator pedal, the transmission is auto-matically disengaged from the engine. Engine speed is reduced to idling speed to reduce fuelconsumption. This function is most effective in driving situa- tions where the vehicle can roll freely for a longdistance, e.g. on roads with slight downgrades orwhen a decrease in speed is anticipated, such aswhen approaching an area with a lower speedlimit.
Activating Eco Coast
The function is activated when the accelerator pedal is fully released and the following condi-tions are met:
• Eco drive mode is activated.
• The gear selector is in
D.
• The vehicle's speed is approximately65-140 km/h (40-87 mph).
• The gradient of the downgrade is less thanapproximately 6%.
COASTING will be displayed in the instrument
panel when Eco Coast is being used.
Limitations
Eco Coast is not available if:
• The engine and/or transmission are not at normal working temperatures.
• The gear selector is moved from
D to manual
shifting mode.
• The vehicle's speed is not within the65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) range. •
The gradient of the downgrade is more thanapproximately 6%.
• The steering wheel paddles
* are being used
for manual shifting.
Deactivating and turning off Eco Coast
In certain situations, it may be advisable to deac- tivate or turn off Eco Coast so that engine brak-ing can be used. These situations might includedriving down steep hills or before passinganother vehicle to help ensure this can be doneas safely as possible. Deactivate Eco Coast by:
• Pressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
• Moving the gear selector to manual mode.
• Using the steering wheel paddles
* to shift.
Turn off Eco Coast by:
• Switching drive mode
* or switching off drive
mode Eco in Function view.
It is possible to roll short distances even without Eco Coast in order to help conserve fuel. How-ever, for the best fuel economy, Eco Coast shouldbe activated and used to roll longer distances.
Cruise control Eco CruiseWhen cruise control is activated in the Eco drivemode, the vehicle's acceleration and decelerationwill be slower than in other drive modes to helpfurther conserve fuel. Because of this, the vehi-cle's actual speed may be slightly above or belowthe set speed.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.421
•
On a level road, the vehicle's actual speed may differ from the set speed when cruisecontrol is active and the vehicle is coasting.
• On a steep uphill gradient, the vehicle'sspeed is reduced until the transmissiondownshifts. Reduced acceleration is then ini-tiated in order to reach the set speed.
• On a downhill gradient in which the vehicle iscoasting, the vehicle's actual speed may beslightly above or below the set speed. Thefunction uses engine braking to keep the setspeed. If necessary, the normal brakes arealso applied.
ECO gauge in the instrument panelThe ECO gauge indicates how economical cur-rent driving is:
• A low reading in the green area of the gaugeindicates economical driving.
• A high reading is shown when driving is noteconomical, e.g. heavy braking or rapid accel-eration.
The ECO gauge also has an indicator showinghow a reference driver would drive in the samedriving situation. This is shown by the shortpointer in the gauge.
Eco gauge in 12" instrument panel *.
Eco gauge in 8" instrument panel.
ECO ClimateIn Eco mode, ECO climate is automatically acti- vated in the passenger compartment to helpreduce energy consumption.
NOTE
When the ECO function is activated, settings for certain climate system and electricity con-suming functions are reduced. Some of thesesettings can be reset manually, but full func-tionality will only be restored by switching off the ECO function or adapting the
Individual*
drive mode to full climate system functionality.
If condensation forms on the windows, tap the max defroster button, which will function normally.

Start/Stop function
Start/Stop is a function that temporarily switches off the engine when the vehicle has stopped,e.g. at a traffic light or in heavy traffic, and thenstarts it again automatically when the brakepedal is released.
The Start/Stop function reduces fuel consump- tion, which helps to reduce exhaust emissions. The system makes it possible to drive more eco- nomically and climate-smart by letting the engineauto-stop when appropriate.

Driving with the Start/Stop function
Start/Stop is a function that temporarily turns off the engine when the vehicle is stationary andthen automatically starts it again when the vehi-cle starts moving.
The Start/Stop function is available when the engine is started and can be activated if certainconditions are met. The instrument panel indi-cates if the function is available, active or notavailable. All of the vehicle's ordinary systems, such as lighting, radio, etc. function normally when theengine has been auto-stopped. Certain functionsmay be temporarily reduced, however, such asthe climate system's blower speed or extremelyhigh audio system volume.
Auto-stopTo auto-stop the engine:
• Stop the vehicle by applying the brakes andkeep the brake pedal depressed. The enginewill auto-stop.
In Eco or Comfort 5
drive mode, the engine may
auto-stop before the vehicle has completely stop-ped. With Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist acti- vated, the engine will auto-stop after approxi-mately three seconds.
5 Normal start mode.

Leveling control * and suspension
The vehicle's leveling control system adjusts the suspension and shock absorbers automaticallyto help provide good comfort and control whiledriving. Leveling can also be controlled manuallyto facilitate loading or getting in and out of thevehicle.
Pneumatic suspension and shock absorbers
The system is adapted to the selected drive mode and vehicle speed. The pneumatic suspen-sion reduces the vehicle's ground clearance athigher speeds to reduce air resistance andincrease stability. The shock absorbers are nor-mally set to provide the best possible comfort and are adjusted continuously according to theroad surface and the vehicle's acceleration, brak-ing and cornering.
The instrument panel indicateswhen the suspension level isbeing adjusted.The level cannot be adjusted when any of the side doors or the tailgate is open.
ParkingWhen parking, make sure that there is adequatespace above and below the vehicle since ground clearance may vary depending on e.g. ambienttemperature, how the vehicle is loaded, if loadingmode is used, which drive mode is selected afterthe engine is started, etc. The level may also be adjusted a period after the vehicle is parked. This is to compensate for anyheight changes that may occur due to tempera-ture changes in the air springs when the vehiclecools.
TransportingWhen transporting the vehicle on a ferry, train ortruck, only secure (lash) the vehicle around thetires, not using any other parts of the chassis.Changes in the pneumatic suspension may occurduring transport, which could adversely affect thelashing and result in damage.
