your driving smoother.
Timeline and driving that show smooth
operation of brake pedal:
&1Depressing the brake pedal slowly and smoothly
will result in a smoothly dropping line.
&2By gradually depressing the brake pedal, the
angle of the line slopes gently downwards.
&3Slowly releasing the brake pedal results in a
stable deceleration. The timeline display gradually
becomes a straight horizontal line.
&4When you release the brake pedal slowly, the line
of the braking panel slopes gently upwards.
Timeline and driving that show sudden
operation of brake pedal:
&1Because the brake pedal is being depressed
quickly, the angle of the line drops off at a steep
angle.
&2Quick application of the brake pedal results in a
steep dropping line.
&3When the brake pedal is repeatedly depressed
and released, the resulting line appears wavy.
&4Because the brake pedal was depressed quickly
the vehicle stopped abruptly. The graph becomes
perpendicular to the time scale.

Using result screens to improve
driving
This section explains how to use the driving
timeline screens. Use this information to make
your driving smoother.
INFO:
The criteria for smooth driving may vary depend-
ing on road conditions. Use this information for
reference purposes only.
Timeline and driving that show smooth
handling when driving through S-curve:
&1Turn the steering wheel slowly and the angle of
the graph slopes gently.
&2Turning the wheel slowly through the turn will
result in a smooth, curving line.
&3By turning the steering wheel slowly back to its
previous position, the line on the graph timeline
returns to its standard position and the vehicle
stabilizes.
Timeline and driving that show sudden
turning of steering wheel:
&1Because the wheel is turned quickly, the buildup
of the line is very sudden.
&2When the wheel is turned back quickly, the
resulting line appears as a point.
&3When the steering wheel is being turned in an
erratic manner, the vehicle is veering abruptly.
Because of this, the line on the panel fluctuates
without settling.
GEAR POSITION SCREEN
The GEAR POSITION screen displays the gear
you are currently in, the current speed, and the
fuel economy level for each gear. This allows you
to verify the best gear to use at your current
driving speed. Use this panel to improve your
operation of the shift lever or paddle shifters.
How to view screen
&1GEAR EFFICIENCY (displays the fuel economy
level):
Displays the current fuel economy level of each
gear. The lighter the blue color displayed, the
