Taking the ecoChallenge

Touch Tools > ecoRoute > ecoChallenge > Start.
The ecoChallenge tool helps you maximize your
fuel economy by scoring your driving habits. The
higher your overall score for a Driving Challenge,
the more fuel you could save.
Your overall score is the average of three scores:
• Acceleration score—gain points for gradual
acceleration; lose points for rapid acceleration.
• Deceleration score—gain points for gradual braking;
lose points for hard braking.
• Speed score—gain points for driving at the best speed
for conserving fuel, which is 72–97 km/h (45–60 mph) for
most vehicles.

efficiency for your vehicle.
• Hwy Fuel Economy—enter the average highway fuel
efficiency for your vehicle.
