Deactivating and turning off Eco Coast
In certain situations, it may be advisable to switch
off the Eco Coast function, such as:
•
When driving down steep hills, in order to uti-
lize engine braking
•
Prior to passing another vehicle, in order to
do so as safely as possible
Deactivating Eco Coast (and reactivating engine
braking) can be done in the following ways:
•
Move the gear selector to the manual "+/–"
position
•
Change gears using the steering wheel pad-
dles*
•
Press the brake or accelerator pedal
Turn the function off by changing drive modes* or
by turning ECO off in the center display's Func-
tion view.
The vehicle will roll for short distances even if
Eco Coast is turned off to help conserve fuel.
However, for the best fuel economy, the function
should be used as much as possible.

The ECO gauge in the instrument panel helps
improve driving economy.
•
A low reading in the green area indicates
economical driving.
•
A higher reading indicates higher fuel con-
sumption.
The ECO gauge also has an indicator showing
how a "reference" driver would drive in the same
situation. This is indicated by a diamond in the
gauge.

have been reduced, press the
AUTO or defroster
buttons.
In order to return to full functionality for all of the
systems that may have been reduced to help

mode or adapt the climate system functions
