■ Eco savings
●Fuel cost and savings should be used as a guide only.
● Depending on refueling methods, driving conditions and environm ental fac-
tors, the actual and displayed fuel costs may differ.
● In some cases, fuel cost and savings may not be linked to the eco score
evaluation.

The following information data will be reset:
●Clock
● Past record (aside from the top 3 results)
● 5 min./1 min. fuel consumption display
