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 statis-
tics in the form of a bar graph, see Trip com-
puter – Trip statistics (p. 105).
Introduction
To display or remove these functions from the
instrument panel, select the "Eco" theme (see
Information displays – introduction (p. 58)).
Driving statistics are also stored and can be
displayed in the form of a bar chart (see Trip
computer – Trip statistics (p. 105)).
Eco Guide
This gauge gives an indication of how eco-
nomically 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 vehi-
cle'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,
indicating low driving economy.
Average
The average reading changes gradually
according 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.
