    摘要: Information display systems present information that allows the driver to increase fuel efficiency of a vehicle, such as a hybrid vehicle. In one example, the systems present information in a manner that allows the driver to maximize the time that the hybrid vehicle is able to operate in electric launch mode. One manner is employing a graphical display that generates visual indicators and easily understood graphical representations that display the actual fuel efficiency currently being achieved in comparison to the driver's application of the throttle. As a result, the driver may be able to modify driving habits in order to keep the hybrid vehicle in electric launch mode for as long as possible.The information display system may also display additional information to the vehicle operator, allowing the vehicle operator to clearly see both textually and iconically which mode of operation the hybrid vehicle is currently operating so that operator behavior can be modified for increasing fuel efficiency of the vehicle.
