CLOCK

Press the "Clock" button (see fig. 13) to display the
clock.

eco:Drive

The eco:Drive application (fig. 14) allows the driver
to monitor their driving style in order to achieve
more efficient driving in terms of fuel economy and
emissions reduction.
Monitoring appears on the display in real time; it is
however possible to access detailed overall
information by consulting the eco:Drive site (see
paragraph "Data transfer").
The assessment of driving style is indicated by 4
indices which are assessed as optimal when the
"eco"-driving style criteria below are complied with:
fig. 14
❒ Acceleration/Deceleration: avoid abrupt
acceleration/deceleration, favouring gradual
increases/decreases in speed.
❒ Gearbox: use the gear most suited to the road
conditions, in order to optimise fuel consumption
(on versions with automatic transmission, using
"Auto" mode, this parameter is not displayed).
❒ Speed: adopt a driving style which maintains, above
all on traffic-free roads, the most appropriate,
constant driving speed, anticipating any
deceleration due to uneven road surfaces or traffic
conditions.
NOTES
The values measured are not directly connected to
instant fuel consumption but are intended to suggest
how the driver can alter their driving style in order
to reduce consumption.
Different journeys may have different values even
though the driver maintains the same driving style,
since they are affected by factors such as traffic
conditions, length of journey and cold starting.
An "eco:Drive" is a more "fluid" drive, even if traffic
conditions often inhibit this. A more "aggressive"
drive, on the other hand, implies frequent
acceleration/deceleration with resulting increased fuel
consumption and harmful emissions.
