Eco Driver Feedback
Fig. 1, Eco Driver Feedback on the Driver Display - ICC5
Note: The Eco Driver feature was discontinued in January 2020.
Eco Driver Feedback encourages a driver to make economical driving a habit with the goal of saving fuel and reducing wear. See Fig..
Eco Driver Feedback gauges, displayed on the right-hand side of the driver display, show a driver's performance in three categories: gentle braking, smooth acceleration, and cruise control usage. Performance is newly calculated with each vehicle start.
Examples of driving behavior that increases or decreases the amount of green in each column are as follows:
-
Time in cruise control increases the Cruise Control Usage value.
-
Failure to engage cruise control after the Use Cruise Control popup appears decreases the Cruise Control Usage value
-
Pumping the accelerator pedal decreases the Smooth Acceleration value.
-
Keeping the speed steady with cruise control off increases the Smooth Acceleration value.
-
Sudden braking outside of an urban environment decreases the Gentle Braking value.
-
No incidences of sudden breaking over time increases the Gentle Braking value.
