The efficiency display includes the bonus range,
refer to page 132.
If the bonus range appears in gray, the current
driving style is inefficient.
The display turns blue as soon as all conditions
for efficient driving are met.
The intervals for resetting the bonus range de‐
pend on the settings of the trip data, refer to
page 141.
Consumption display
A pointer in the consumption display informs
about the current driving style:
▷ The current consumption in relation to the
average consumption is displayed.
▷ Pointer in the area of arrow 1: display of the
energy recovered by coasting or when brak‐
ing.
▷ Pointer in the area of arrow 2: display when
accelerating.
If the acceleration is inefficient, the area between
the average consumption and the current con‐
sumption is colored red.
In addition, the following information is displayed,
depending on the situation:
▷ Depending on the equipment: the total dis‐
tance driven while coasting, refer to
page 246.
▷ The total time that the engine has been
switched off, refer to page 114, during auto‐
matic engine stops.
▷ A gear shift indicator, refer to page 138, rec‐
ommending the use of a more efficient gear.
Indications on the Control
Display
General information
Information about the current effectiveness of
the ECO PRO functions can be displayed as en‐
ergy flow.
Displaying energy flow information
Via iDrive:
1. "CAR"
2. "Driving information"
3. "Energy flow"
The following functions are displayed:
▷ Auto Start/Stop function.
▷ Energy recovery.
▷ Coasting.
Coasting
Concept
Under certain conditions the engine is automati‐
cally decoupled from the transmission in the D
selector lever position. The vehicle continues
traveling with the engine idling to reduce con‐
sumption. Selector lever position D remains en‐
gaged.
This driving condition is referred to as coasting.
As soon as you step on the brake or accelerator
pedal, the engine is automatically coupled again.
General information
Coasting is a component of the ECO PRO driv‐
ing mode.
Coasting is automatically activated when ECO
PRO mode is called via the Driving Dynamics
Control.
A proactive driving style helps the driver to use
the function often and supports the efficient ef‐
fect of coasting.
