When the interior light switch is set to the
“DOOR” position, the light will automatically

The ECO gauge shows the difference
between the current rate of fuel consumption
and the average rate of fuel consumption
since the trip meter was last reset.
If the ECO gauge moves towards the +
side, this indicates better fuel efficiency.
NOTE
The ECO gauge shows only an
approximate indication of fuel efficiency...
