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.
Note: Frequent short journeys, where
the engine does not fully warm up, will
also increase fuel consumption.
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.

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.
The relevant information will be shown in
the display.
