significantly influence the vehicle's
consumption.
The ECO display consists of three bars:
R
Acceleration
R
Constant
R
Coasting
The percent value is the average value of the
three bars. The three bars and the mean value
begin at the value of 50%. A higher
percentage indicates a more economical
driving style.
The ECO display does not provide any
information on the actual consumption. A
fixed percentage count in the ECO display
does not indicate a fixed consumption figure
in l/100 km.
Apart from driving style, consumption is
dependent on many factors such as, e.g.:
R Load
R Tire pressure
R Cold start
R
Choice of route
R
Electrical consumers switched on
These factors are not taken into
consideration by the ECO display.

out using the following three categories:
Acceleration (evaluation of all
acceleration)
The bar fills up: The bar empties:
Moderate
acceleration,
especially at high
speeds Sporty acceleration
Constant (evaluation of driving style at
any time)
The bar fills up: The bar empties:

avoidance of
unnecessary
acceleration and
deceleration Speed variations
Coasting (evaluation of total
deceleration)
The bar fills up: The bar empties:

pedal in good time:
the vehicle can
coast without

i On longer journeys, e.g. on highways, the
only the bar in the "Constant" category
changes.
i The ECO display calculates the driving
style from the start of the journey to the
end. For this reason, the bars change
dynamically at the beginning of the journey.
On longer journeys, there are fewer
changes. For more dynamic changes, carry
out a manual reset.
