Eco Guide
The Eco guide is one of the screens in the multi-information display (MID). It rewards continuous improvement in fuel economy by "growing" five plant icons, one leaf at a time, based on fuel-efficient driving. The Eco guide has three progressively difficult Eco stages: The first stage can grow two leaves on each of the five plants; the second stage can grow four leaves on each plant; the third stage can grow a blossom on each plant.
In addition, an Eco drive bar at the bottom of the Eco guide gives the driver real-time fuel economy information. A longer bar indicates lower fuel economy, and a shorter bar indicates higher fuel economy.
The ECM/PCM adds data to the Eco guide by forming an Eco drive profile. The ECM/PCM sends the Eco drive profile to the gauge control module via F-CAN. When the gauge control module receives the Eco drive profile data, it responds by adding the data to the Eco guide.
