ECO Reminder ???

Yo Koupian .... any idea wats that ??? for those who collected their Koup ECO indicator ever appear on the instrument cluster ???

from other forum

To turn the ECO light on or off in my SXs I have to scroll to the ECO indicator screen and then hold the button down for a sec.


See if I can remember all the screens:
Water temp,
trip A
trip B
mileage till empty
MPG
Hours/minutes
ECO Indicator

dun hv.

wat's dat for???

??? wats tat??? econimics indiactor?? i tt e FC meter is gd enugh!?!

last time mine lancer have this also
if the light is on it means u r getting maximum efficiency and ur FC shld be gd

its another way to tell u to keep ur right foot to be light on ur accelerator

there is 1 function in the 'trip' button, u can see the gauge move when u step on ur paddle, depends on how hard/light u step.....

cool .....

bro viper is right.

see this link got mention: http://www.automoblog.net/2009/07/27/2010-kia-forte-review/

quoted:
In the Forte’s defense, it did include the “EcoMinder” system (standard
on all automatics,) which lights up a little “Eco” indicator when
you’re getting maximum efficiency. It’s a nice reminder for you to keep
light feet while driving if fuel economy is a concern.

cool feature...

hehe lucky my Koup is auto ....

CMON!!!! koup is for flooring!!!feel e rush!! wahahha.. u guys plannin on which grade of petrol to feed ur koup!?!?

dunno shld pump 95 or 92.. though it seems lk 92 enuff

98... vpower ???

probably 92 first... after mods then upgrade 95...

Hv tried Techron 95 - not bad. I'm currently running on VPower. Wah sei...got diff lei. Engine runs smoother and is slightly more responsive. Reckon it's worth the few extra bucks for the driving enjoyment.

ya vpower got diff.. still remember when shell having the promo of vpower @ the price of 98, can really feel my car more smoother of coz that could also me just me

now the VPower feels super extra shiok coz it's F.O.C! coz using C&C's $300 petrol vouchers. haha.

wah good for you.... so after that still pumping vpower?

wah... maybe i shld try also with the vouchers..
but is it worth it or not.. or shld just use the vouchers and pump 95.. hehe..
bro redkoup, the vouchers come in what denominations?

most probably since i dun pump much petrol as i dun usually use the koup daily. think VP will only cost me an additional $3-$4 a week so it's worth it for the extra pleasure.

Yes, the ECO indicator is all about up-shift, up-shift, up-shift and driving at sensible RPMs...

vouchers were one of the items in the C&C checklist during car collection. but maybe becoz my koup came early and voucher not ready so had to self collect from SE at LK a month later. expiry date can't remember but long enuf. $300 at most last 4 tanks onli.

1st and 2nd gear too short la; easily hit 3k in normal acceleration. lagi more if u put VP.....woot!

lolx... tks bro!! =)
