The Eco Drive Bar on the Eco guide
feedback display appears on the
multi-information display while you
drive.

During acceleration, the bar
extends to the right of the center
line.

If the bar extends into the
Inefficient Driving Zones, your
current driving style is not
conducive to good fuel economy.

If the bar stays within the Efficient
Driving Zones, your current
driving style is conducive to good
fuel economy.

During deceleration, the bar
extends to the left of the center
line.

It is recommended to drive in the D
position for better fuel efficiency.
