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.
