Driving Efficiency: This bar indicates a level of consistent driving, if a
driver varies between acceleration and deceleration frequently then
this bar will be negatively affected. Additionally heavy acceleration
and deceleration can have a very negative effect. This bar will help
a driver drive at more consistent speeds which will positively affect
their fuel economy.
Wasted Energy: The waste en-
ergy graph, displays accelera-
tion and deceleration. The cen-
ter line of this graph represents
zero wasted energy. If a driver
accelerates too quickly or de-
celerates too quickly they will
see a bar extend outward from
zero indicating an amount of
energy wasted. The sensitivity
of the wasted energy bar can
be adjusted in the “Adjust Ac-
celeration”, menu.
The Driving Coach: The high-
lighted area on the WatchDog
screen represents the Driving
Coach information display. All
of the highlighted information
makes up the Driving Coach.
