Eco Guide* and Power Meter*
Eco guide and Power guide are two gauges in
the instrument panel that help improve driving
economy.
The vehicle also stores driving-related statistics
in the form of a bar graph, see Trip computer –
Trip statistics (p. 126).
Introduction
To display or remove these functions from the
instrument panel, select the "Eco" theme (see
Information displays – introduction (p. 71)).
Driving statistics are also stored and can be dis-
played in the form of a bar chart (see Trip com-
puter – Trip statistics (p. 126)).
Eco Guide
This gauge gives an indication of how economi-
cally the vehicle is being driven.
Current (instantaneous) reading
Average
Current (instantaneous) reading
This is the current level of economical driving; the
higher the reading, the more economically the
vehicle is being driven.
This value is calculated based on the vehicle's
speed, engine speed (rpm), engine load and
brake use.
The optimal speed range is between approxi-
mately 30–50 mph (50–80 km/h), preferably at
as low rpm as possible. The markers fall when
the brake or accelerator pedal is pressed.
If the current reading is very low, the red field in
the gauge will illuminate after a slight delay, indi-
cating low driving economy.
Average
The average reading changes gradually accord-
ing to changes in the current reading to indicate
how economically the vehicle has been driven
recently. The higher the average reading, the
more economically the vehicle has been driven.
Power Meter
This gauge indicates the engine power that has
been utilized and the amount of power remaining.
