Best Average Fuel Economy
The right hand side displays the
best average fuel economy (AFE)
that is achieved for a selected
distance. The left hand side displays
a running average of fuel economy
for the most recently traveled
selected distance. The center bar
graph displays the instantaneous
fuel economy. Quickly press the
SET/CLR button to display a page
for selecting one of the distance
options. Move the up/down arrow to
choose the selection, and SET/CLR
to change the setting.
When viewing best AFE, a several
second press and hold of SET/CLR
will reset the best value. The best
value will show “-.-“until the
selected distance has been
traveled.
The display provides feedback on
how current driving behavior in the
bar graph affects the running average in the left display and how
well recent driving compares to the
best that has been achieved.
ECO Index
This display shows a bar graph that
indicates how efficiently the vehicle
is being driven. For the most
efficient use of fuel, only the lower
portion of the graph should be filled.
Instant economy is also shown in L/
100 km (mpg). If the vehicle has a
manual transmission, this display
also includes an up-shift indicator.
