FUEL
EFFICIENCY
Note: In ECO Mode, because response is less than the standard fuel efficiency
can be improved. However, if rapid acceleration is purposefully carried
out fuel efficiency will be reduced.
The changes in response will be greater as the vehicle's power is greater.
Degree of Acceleration Monitor
Degree of Acceleration Monitor shows the rate of acceleration output to the ECU where 0 represents the pedal not being pressed in and 100
equals when the pedal is fully pressed down.
Note: Depending on characteristics of the accelerator or on how the accel-
erator is stepped on the display may read up to 95%.

Check acceleration during ECO driving
USE
To e n s u r e r e d u c e d f u e l
consumption during accelera-
tion the degree of acceleration
should be between 15% and
25%. To further improve results
use ECO Mode when wishing
to save fuel.

Check acceleration during regular driving
USE
Please use to check the degree of acceleration for any type of
driving, not just ECO Mode.
