ECO PRO bonus range
An extension of the range can be achieved by an adjusted driving style.
This may be displayed as the bonus range in the instrument cluster.
Driving style
In the tachometer, a mark in the bar display indicates the current efficiency of the driving style corresponding to the accelerator pedal position.
▷ Blue display: efficient driving style as long as the mark moves within the blue range.
▷ Gray display: adjust driving style, e. g. by backing off the accelerator pedal.
The display switches to blue as soon as all conditions for fuel-economy-optimized driving are met.
ECO PRO Tip - driving instruction
The arrow indicates that the driving style can be adjusted to be more fuel efficient by backing off the accelerator.
