Current driving condition, refer to page 160.
Coasting
Principle
The drive system allows the vehicle to roll
freely with minimal deceleration in selector
lever position D. This driving condition is refer-
red to as coasting. This reduces fuel consump-
tion.
Vehicles with mild hybrid technology do not
consume fuel when coasting.
General information
An anticipatory driving style helps the driver
to use the function often and supports the effi-
cient effect of coasting.
Coasting is automatically adapted to the re-
spective driving situation.
The coasting mode is displayed in the Live Ve-
hicle menu as efficient coasting.
Additional information:
Current driving condition, refer to page 160.
Exemplary driving situations
If a route can be traveled without an antici-
pated need for braking, it is advantageous to
roll.
The following exemplary driving situations may
be suitable:
▷
Rolling on a straight downhill route without
obstacles.
▷ Coasting on a distance without obstacles.
Avoid late or strong braking.
Functional requirements
▷
Selector lever position D is engaged.
▷ Brake is not depressed.
▷ Accelerator pedal is not operated.
▷ Engine and transmission are at operating
temperature.
The function is available in the speed
range from approx. 16 mph/25 km/h to
100 mph/160 km/h.
Operation via shift paddles
Principle
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
Coasting mode can be influenced with the shift
paddles.
Activating/deactivating coasting via
shift paddles
Long press the right shift paddle to activate.
To deactivate, actuate the left shift paddle.
System limits
▷ While Active Cruise Control is active.
▷ With defective, dirty or covered sensors.
▷ 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.
Efficient mode
Principle
Efficient mode helps promote an efficient driv-
ing style.
When certain prerequisites are met the engine
is automatically decoupled from the transmis-
sion in the D selector lever position. The ve-
hicle continues traveling in Neutral to reduce
consumption. The D selector lever position re-
mains engaged.
