The percentage count in eco score dis-
play : only appears after a distance of
approx. 400 m has been covered. A higher
percentage
count indicates a more econom-
ical driving style. If the ignition remains
switched off for longer than 4 hours, eco
score display : in the on-board computer
will be automatically reset.

An economical driving style involves
driving with a moderate engine speed.
To achieve a higher value:
R
observe the gearshift recommendation
R
accelerate moderately, especially at
higher speeds
R
drive carefully and keep your distance
from the vehicle in front
R
release the accelerator pedal in good
time
R
allow the vehicle to coast without the
use of the brakes and engage neutral if
necessary
R
drive at a constant speed and avoid
unnecessary acceleration and decel-
eration
R
drive the vehicle in drive program E
(vehicles with automatic transmis-
sion).

The eco score calculation takes into
account your driving characteristics
from the start of the journey to its com-
pletion. Therefore, there are dynamic
changes in the percentage count at the
start of a journey. During a prolonged
driving
time,
these changes are smaller.
For dynamic changes, perform a manual
reset (Y page 155).
When the fuel level reaches the reserve
range, the remaining fuel storage is shown
in the multifunction display instead of the
percentage value.
For further information on the eco score
display, see (Y page 155).
