not be updated. 
When refueling, turn the power switch off. If the vehicle is refueled with-
out turning the power switch off, the display may not be updated.

ECO Accelerator Guidance
Eco score
●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  driving
ratio  based  on  acceleration  bar  within  the  zone  of  Eco  acceleration.
