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.
