energy which has been consumed by the
climate control system ( CLIMATE) and the
energy which has been consumed by the
motor ( DRIVE).
As the climate control system consumes more
power, bars in the CLIMATE section increase
as bars in the DRIVE section decrease.
Likewise, as the motor consumes more power,
bars in the DRIVE section increase as bars in
the CLIMATE section decrease.
■Electricity Consumption Indicator (ENERGY USAGE)1Electricity Consumption Indicator (ENERGY USAGE)
Every few minutes the electricity consumption
indicator adjusts the readi ngs by one bar at a time.
If the energy consumptio n ratio is minimal, the
readings may not change.
If climate control system use is low, the CLIMATE
