Glide mode function
With an anticipatory driving style, glide mode
helps you to reduce fuel consumption.
Glide mode is characterized by the following:
R
The combustion engine is disconnected from
the drivetrain and the vehicle continues to
roll in neutral.
R
The transmission position h is displayed in
green in the multifunction display.
Glide mode is activated if the following condi‐
tions are met:
R
Vehicles with MAGIC BODY CONTROL:
drive program N is selected.
R
Vehicles without MAGIC BODY CONTROL:
drive program ; is selected.
R
The speed is within a suitable range.
R
The road's course is suitable, e.g. no steep
uphill or downhill inclines or tight bends.
R
You do not depress the accelerator or brake
pedal.
%
Glide mode can also be activated if you have
selected the Eco setting for the drive when
in drive program =.
Glide mode is deactivated again if one of the
conditions is no longer met.
Vehicles with Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC: when Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC is active, the glide mode function is
not available.
Function of the 4MATIC
4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven.
Together with ESP
®
and 4ETS, 4MATIC improves
the traction of your vehicle whenever a driven
wheel spins due to insufficient traction.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce the risk of an accident nor over‐
ride the laws of physics. 4MATIC cannot take
account of road, weather and traffic conditions.
4MATIC is only an aid. You are responsible espe‐
cially for maintaining a safe distance from the
vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in
good time and for staying in lane.
%
In wintry road conditions, the maximum
effect of 4MATIC can be achieved only if you
use winter tires (M+S tires), with snow
chains if necessary.
