& ECO gaugeThe ECO gauge shows the difference
between the average rate of fuel con-
sumption and the current rate of fuel
consumption. Using the average rate of
fuel consumption since the trip meter was
last reset, if the current rate of fuel
consumption is higher than the average
rate of fuel consumption, the indicator
needle points to the “+”or right side, and if
the current rate of fuel consumption is
lower than the average rate of fuel
consumption, the indicator needle points
to the “”or left side. When the indicator
needle is pointing to the “+”or right side, it
indicates fuel-efficient driving.
NOTE. The ECO gauge shows only an
approximate indication.
. After resetting the trip meter, the
average rate of fuel consumption is not
shown until driving 0.6 mile (1 km).
Until that time, the ECO gauge does not
operate.
