tor comes on in the instrument cluster.
Press the switch to change the driving mode to normal mode.

ing in mountainous regions or when overtaking.

indicator comes on in the instrument cluster.
Press the switch to change the driving mode to normal mode.
 Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode

conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency (P. 450, 457). To improve air
conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.
