PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The system assists the driver to drive
more efficiently by constantly monitoring
characteristics of gear changing,
anticipation of traffic conditions and
speeds on motorways and open roads.
Note: These efficiency values do not
result in a defined fuel consumption figure.
It might vary as it is not only related to
these driving disciplines but also
influenced by many other factors such as
short journeys and cold starts.
The value of these characteristics is
represented by petals shown in the
display, with five petals being the most
efficient. The more efficiently you drive,
the better the rating, and the better your
overall fuel consumption.

A: Gear shifting
B: Anticipation
C: Efficient speed
Gear shifting
Using the highest drivable gear
appropriate for the road conditions will
improve fuel consumption.
Eco mode
Anticipation
Adjusting your vehicle speed and the
distance to other vehicles without the
need for heavy braking or acceleration
will improve fuel consumption.
Efficient speed
Higher speeds use more fuel. Reducing
your cruising speed on open roads will
improve fuel consumption.
USING ECO MODE
The system is accessed using the trip
computer menu. See Trip computer
(page 83).
Press the SET/RESET button to enter
Eco mode. Use the rotary control to view
individual screens and additional tips on
how to improve your fuel consumption.
Resetting Eco mode
Reset the average fuel consumption.
Note: New values may take a short time
to calculate.
