Driver’s Information System with efficiency program

Individual driving styles play a significant part in determining fuel efficiency. Where fitted, the Driver’s Information System with efficiency program can help by providing valuable tips and information to enable the most efficient driving style at all times.

Gearshift indicator on manual cars

Selecting the right gear at the right time is key to optimising fuel consumption. The Driver’s Information System has a gearshift indicator that suggests when to change gear and which gear to change to. By following the system’s recommendations, you’ll drive more efficiently.

Optimising your fuel consumption

Comfort features such as air conditioning and seat heating increase fuel consumption. The efficiency program helps you monitor this by telling you which systems in the car require additional energy and how high their share of fuel consumption is. For example, the program will advise you to close an open window while the air conditioning is switched on.
