Coasting guide is only a supplemen-
tal system to assist with fuel-efficient
driving in certain situations. Thus,
the operating conditions may be dif-
ferent in accordance with
traffic/road conditions (i.e. driving
in a traffic jam, driving on a slope,
driving on a curve). Thus, take the
actual driving conditions into con-
sideration, such as distances from
the vehicles ahead/ behind, while
referring to the coasting guide sys-
tem as guidance.
