Driver Efficiency Gauge
(eAssist)
This gauge is a guide to driving in
an efficient manner and will vary
based on driver input. To maximize
efficiency, keep the leaf in the solid
green zone in the center of the
gauge. The leaf moves down when
braking and up when accelerating.
When either is done aggressively,
the vehicle is being driven less
efficiently and the gauge will move
further from the center.
Engine Oil Temperature
Gauge
Metric
English
This gauge shows the engine oil
temperature.
If the gauge pointer moves into the
high end, it means that the engine
oil has overheated. If the vehicle
has been operated under normal
driving conditions, pull off the road,
stop the vehicle, and turn off the
engine as soon as possible.
