Eco Coach Question

[BRDVPRA]

In my PB when I use the Eco coach deaccelerating within the charge lines the word Charge is sometimes in white and sometimes Green. All the while the deacceleration is still within the lines. Does anyone know why the word Charge changes back and forth from white to green?

Green means you are using the regen brakes, white means you are using the mechanical brakes.

OK thanks for the info!

If only there was a button to say "use only electric drive" (rather than having to modulate the accelerator and try not to go over the line.)
I'd also like two other buttons:
1) "charge the battery to 100% and keep it there" (to prepare for driving into a garage.)
2) "100% max electric assist" (without increasing the throttle to use more fuel, just wanting the electric to "oomph" a little, sort of like an F1 "press to pass" and KERS, which would be especially handy going up and down small inclines when the battery becomes 100% full but there's no way to deplete it 100% before the next downhill regen opportunity … I'm trying some "hyper-miling" while driving and while towing.)
