Efficiency Coach
Principle
The system provides assistance for a predictive
and comfort oriented driving style. For this pur‐
pose, map information and sensor data is used to
analyse the current driving situation, such as up‐
coming speed limits and vehicles driving in front.
Based on this information, the driver receives no‐
tices for an efficient driving style early on. The ef‐
ficiency of the driving style is evaluated in the
control display and shown in three categories.
General
The system has different displays to support the
driver with an efficient driving style.
Operating requirements
▷ Selector lever position D or B is engaged.
▷ Efficient drive mode is activated.
Display
Power display
When the Efficient drive mode is activated, the
display changes to a special configuration.
The efficient range of the power display is col‐
oured blue. Additionally, the bonus range will be
displayed.
The efficient range is adjusted depending on the
driving situation.
If the power display moves within the blue range,
the current driving style is efficient. The display
will change to grey if the driving style is ineffi‐
cient.
Bonus range
It is possible to achieve a range
extension by adjusting the driving
style.
The range extension is displayed
as the bonus range in the instru‐
ment cluster.
If the bonus range appears is shown in grey or
hidden, the current driving style is inefficient.
The display turns blue as soon as all the condi‐
tions for consumption-optimised driving are met.
The intervals for resetting the bonus range de‐
pend on the trip data settings.
Display inefficient driving style
When driving above the efficient range,
an arrow will be displayed.
For example, the display occurs in the
following situations:
▷ Excessive acceleration.
▷ Excessive speed.
▷ Special route section, for example, round‐
about ahead.
Additionally, the bonus range turns grey or it is
hidden and a notice to decelerate is shown.
System limits
For example, the function is not available in the
following situations:
▷ If Cruise Control is active.
▷ In trailer operation.
