Recently, Honda has release their new second generation Insight hybrid will feature the Honda Ecological Drive Assist System, a driver’s assist system that helps the driver drive fuel efficiently. Few indicators on the dashboard helps on archiving this. There is a scoring system on the multi-info display which gives the driver feedback via graphic “leaves”, which grow over time as the driver becomes more able at fuel efficient driving.
Honda EcoThe second indicator is the background colour of the digital speedometer display, which is located on the top deck of the multi-tiered dashboard. How the fuel system works? The system will turn the background to green while during fuel efficient driving and this changes to blue-green during relatively fuel-efficient driving and back to fuel when the driving pattern is not efficient.
Another feature of the Honda Ecological Drive Assist System is the ECON Mode button which activates an energy-saving feature in the air conditioning unit, extends idle stop time, and increases regenerative recharging during deceleration.
