Button for Economy
mode (automated
manual gearbox)
You can switch the Economy
mode on and off with the ECO
button when the selector lever is
in position
DD
. You can use the
Economy mode whenever you
wish to achieve particularly low
fuel consumption. The following
factors contribute:
Timing of gearshifts
Gearshifts are timed for
improved fuel efficiency
START-STOP function
The engine switches itself off
after a few seconds if you stop
the vehicle and leave your foot
on the foot-brake. The engine
starts again and the vehicle will
start moving as soon as you
release the foot-brake.
The engine will not switch itself
off if it is still cold, or if too
many items of electrical equip-
ment are in use.
Reduced engine power
Engine power is reduced to
30 kW (except when using the
kick-down feature).
Freewheel feature
(reduced engine braking)
The clutch is disengaged auto-
matically when you take your
foot off the accelerator while the
vehicle is moving. This means
the engine braking effect is mini-
mal. The clutch will engage
again when you press the foot-
brake, so the normal engine
braking effect is then available.
