Anticipatory driving style
Principle
An indicator on the instrument cluster informs
the driver when deceleration will be necessary
soon, even if the cause is not yet visible. Situa-
tions requiring vehicle deceleration include, for
example: roundabouts or lower
speed limits.
Situation-specific information and the distance
to the upcoming route section is shown above
the current speed limit on the instrument clus-
ter.
If an alert is
received, the vehicle's speed and
its consumption can be reduced using the ap-
propriate accelerator pedal position and coast-
ing until the route section
is reached.
This system recommends that the driver
promptly slow down by shrinking the blue
range on the power gauge on the instru-
ment cluster. The blue range on the power
gauge remains small until the route segment
is reached.
Display in the instrument cluster
The forecast information is displayed on the
instrument cluster.
The prompt for an upcoming route segment,
for example, is issued as a recommendation to
let the vehicle coast.
The icon, e.g., to turn, indicates the route sec-
tion detected.
