Driver assistance system for driver assistance for consumption controlled driving
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A driver assistance system for assisting a driver in achieving consumption-controlled driving, the driver assistance system comprising:
- an electronic control system; and
a display operatively coupled with the electronic control system and providing a visual feedback function for the driver, whereinin at least one defined economical driving mode, the electronic control system is operatively configured to display at least one of an interactive efficiency-based evaluation and recommendation of a current driving style of the driver on the display instead of a conventional fuel consumption display, andthe interactive efficiency-based evaluation is an efficiency range that is provided on the display, the efficiency range being indicative of a range of accelerator pedal angles.

Abstract
A driver assistance system for driver assistance for consumption controlled driving combines tactile and visual feedback functions, especially in the form of a drive configuration, a display concept and/or a deceleration assistant, wherein the emphasis is, on the one hand, on a modified accelerator pedal characteristic and, on the other hand, on the ECO tips for interactive output of efficient driving instructions.
