    1. It displays the degree of economic driving by identifying the status of a driver's operation, depending on a vehicle's driving conditions (e.g., required power, system efficiency and charging).
    2. It leads to economic driving by informing the driver of the optimal driving conditions depending on the vehicle's conditions.
    3. It displays that ECO guide and power segment will operate during driving, and also indicates the state of regenerative braking when a charge zone is instructed while driving.
  2. SOC (State of Charge) gauge
    1. It displays the amount of charge of high-voltage battery.
    2. It displays the charged amount of SOC received from BMS module on the digital gauge in the instrument cluster (as follows).

  3. Energy Flow
    1. It displays graphical energy flow of an HEV vehicle to inform the driver of the vehicle information.
    2. It leads to economic driving by showing the energy flow diagram by means of intuitive images.
    3. HCU module receives operation mode CAN signals to implement any relevant animation.
