ECO Assist Scoring Monitors the fuel efficiency of your driving style in real time and converts results into leaves, which are displayed in a series of five "plant" icons on the MID. Once you start your vehicle, make sure the MID shows the Ecological Drive Display on the display to view your Eco Assist score in real time. Auto Idle Stop Shuts the engine off at a stop in order to maximize fuel efficiency. Idle stop duration varies depending on certain conditions, such as climate control operation, IMA battery level, and outside temperature. How It Works DECELERATE STOP RESTART As you drive, you earn leaves if you drive in a fuel-efficient manner, or lose them if you drive inefficiently. While driving, the engine is on. While at a stop, with the brake pedal pressed, the engine turns off. When you take your foot off the brake pedal, the engine turns back on. When you turn the ignition off, your drive cycle and lifetime score are displayed on the MID. Drive Cycle Score Lifetime Score Note: Auto Idle Stop only functions if you come to a stop with the shift lever in the D or N position. IMA Gauge Shows the status of the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system. The gauge shows you when the IMA motor is assisting the engine or charging the battery. Note: The IMA assist may not operate under certain conditions. Eco Score Each time you reach a new stage, a Stage Up Recognition icon briefly appears on the MID.
