This meter provides an indication of how eco-
nomically the car is being driven.

Instantaneous value

Average value
1
Power is dependent on engine speed.
Instantaneous value
The instantaneous value is displayed here - the
higher the result on the scale, the better.
The instantaneous value is calculated on the
basis of speed, engine speed, engine power
utilised plus use of the foot brake.
Optimum speed (50-80 km/h) and low revs are
encouraged. The pointers fall under accelera-
tion and braking.
Very low instantaneous values illuminate the
red zone on the meter, which means poor
economy and hence should be avoided.
Average value
The average value slowly follows the instanta-
neous value and describes how the car has
been driven of late. The higher the pointers on
the scale, the better the economy achieved by
the driver.
