Eco Mode
How Does Eco Mode Work
The system is designed to monitor certain driving characteristics to help you drive more efficiently.   See   Economical Driving
Note:   The efficiency levels do not result in a defined fuel consumption figure.
Note:   The system only indicates the efficiency level for the current trip. The system resets each time you switch the ignition on.
Instantaneous Efficiency Level
The display ring increases as the instantaneous efficiency level increases and illuminates when it reaches maximum efficiency. The level continuously updates to indicate the efficiency level for the current trip.
Viewing the Instantaneous Efficiency Level
  1. Using the information display controls on the steering wheel, select MyView.
  1. Select Eco Coach.
Trip Summary
The calculated trip summary is shown as four colored bars. The bars travel from left to right as the calculated efficiency levels increase. The bars indicate the average efficiency level for acceleration, deceleration, speed and gear shifting during the total distance traveled by your vehicle for the current trip.
Note:   Vehicles with an automatic transmission do not have a bar for gear shifting.
