1 Acceleration is shown in the outer ring of the iris. The braking and
acceleration profile has a great impact on consumption: The less
intense and frequent the acceleration and braking operations, the more
efficient your driving style.
The arcs which are indicated by just an edge line show the ideal
position. When the speed is held constant through driving with foresight,
these arcs are covered by the coloured arcs.
The harder you accelerate, the further down the blue arcs wander. The
harder you brake, the further up they wander. The further they wander
from the ideal position, they grayer they become.
Intense braking and acceleration costs energy. Therefore, drive with
foresight to avoid large swings.
2 The segments in the inside of the iris represent the development of your
Blue Score for past periods.
Each segment stands for a period of several seconds. The bigger the
blue part of a segment, the higher your Blue Score was in the particular
period. When the circle is full of segments, old segments are
overwritten.
The current segment is white. The evaluation of the last evaluation
period will appear at this point.
The recording always begins anew when a new trip starts, i.e. each
time the ignition was switched off for longer than 2 hours or the short-
trip computer was reset (see "Resetting the Think Blue. Trainer.
application" on page 118).
3 The middle of the iris can present the following:
► A gear shift recommendation (only on vehicles with manual
transmission). The more exactly you follow these
recommendations, the higher your Blue Score will be.
