•
The Economy Gauge not only shows the driver that his/her actions
affect vehicle range, but that driving more economically can
increase the vehicle range.
•
The gauge reading reflects:
– drivetrain power usage.
– vehicle speed.
– climate control usage.
– regeneration effects.
•
The needle will move toward the plus (+) sign (green band) when
the driver minimizes power usage or puts power back into the
vehicle.
•
The needle will move toward the minus (-) sign (yellow band)
when the driver accelerates quickly or turns on loads that reduce
vehicle range.
•
The IAA monitors several inputs and uses this information to
control the ECON Gauge.
