ECO Assist Scoring

Monitors the fuel efficiency of your driving style in real time and converts results

into leaves, which are displayed in a series of five “plant” icons on the MID.

Once you start your vehicle, make sure the MID shows the Ecological Drive

Display on the display to view your Eco Assist score in real time.

As you drive, you earn leaves if you

drive in a fuel-efficient manner, or

lose them if you drive inefficiently.

When you turn the ignition

off, your drive cycle and

lifetime score are displayed

on the MID.

Eco Score

Each time you reach

a new stage, a Stage

Up Recognition icon

briefly appears on

the MID. When you

reach the highest

ranking, a trophy

icon briefly appears.
