Depending on your vehicle's equipment, the
ECO PRO displays also inform you about your
current driving style. This is indicated by a
pointer which moves along a scale. The pointer
tells you whether energy is being consumed to
accelerate the vehicle or whether energy is be‐
ing recovered through coasting and braking. If
the pointer remains in the blue range on the
scale, you are driving efficiently.
ECO PRO tip, driving tip
The ECO PRO tip indicates that the
driving style can be adjusted to be
more fuel efficient, for example by
