ECO Accelerator Guidance (P. 112)
Eco-friendly driving may be achieved more easily by staying within the zone
of Eco acceleration. Also, by staying within the zone of Eco acceleration, it
will be easier to obtain a good Eco score.
●
When starting off:
Gradually depress the accelerator pedal to stay within the zone of Eco
acceleration and accelerate to the desired speed. By refraining from exces-
sive acceleration, a good eco start score will be obtained.
●
When driving:
After accelerating to the desired speed, release the accelerator pedal and
drive at a stable speed while staying within the zone of Eco acceleration. By
staying within the zone of Eco acceleration, a good eco cruise score will be
obtained.
●
When stopping:
By starting to release the accelerator pedal early before decelerating, a
good eco stop score will be obtained.
■
Drive-Start Control (DSC)
When the TRC is turned off (P. 303), sudden start restraint control also
does not operate. If your vehicle have trouble escaping from the mud or fresh
snow due to sudden start restraint control operation, deactivate TRC (P.
303) so that the vehicle may become able to escape from the mud or fresh
snow.
