● ECO Accelerator Guidance
Eco area
Indicates that the vehicle is
being driven in an Eco-friendly
manner.
Power area
Indicates that the Eco-friendly
driving range is being exceeded
(during full power driving, etc.)
Eco driving ratio based on acceleration
Zone of Eco acceleration
Suggests a range in which Eco-friendly acceleration can be performed.
The zone of Eco acceleration changes according to situations, such as
starting off or cruising.
Eco-friendly acceleration can be achieved by keeping the Eco dr iving
ratio based on acceleration bar within the zone of Eco acceleration.
