Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Real-Time Driving Information
Real-time driving information includes the driver's acceleration and braking habits, viewed from a fuel economy standpoint. Based on information received, the ambient meter (background color of the speedometer) changes color: During low fuel economy, the ambient meter is blue; at medium fuel economy, the meter is blue-green; and at high fuel economy, it's green. In addition, the Eco drive bar on the MID changes from a long bar (during low fuel economy driving) to a short bar (during high fuel economy driving).
