Trip computer green driving symbols?
Have flicked through the manual a couple of times this weekend, but can’t find the answer...
I’ve got the digital dash, and if you click through the trip computer, one of the options - after the trip mileage, range etc, shows three symbols with a series of green, amber or I think red dashed lines after it. One looks like it’s measuring how green your acceleration is (is that right?) and I can’t tell what the other two are?
Can anyone explain this properly to me?
If no one understands what on earth I am blabbering on about I can post a pic tomorrow.
Many thanks!

Something like this?
Driving style:
The driving display shows an immediate assessment of the accelerator pedal position, engine speed and driving speed, and the braking behavior compared to starting points for efficient driving.

^^^^^ what he said
It gives an indication of how environmentally friendly your driving style has been over the last few minutes. One is throttle position, one is engine speed and one is brake use. Green is good, red is naughty.

Ist there also a screen giving you points on your diving style. Sadly this doesn't relate to oil dilution.

The three things are
Braking , how efficently you brake hard or soft etc
Second is speed, this reflects the speed limit so if the speed limit is 30 and you do 31 it goes to amber, if you are way above the speed it goes to red
Third from memory is how hard you plant your right foot.
All aimed at improving your driving to make it the most economical and enviormentally green

In AU, LR don't use the speed sign recognition system on the D5 so I thought the middle symbol was for engine speed in gear. Mine goes orange at times, usually when going up hill in a lower gear, but there's no way for the car to know the speed limit on the road.
I drove a BMW with speed sign recognition and it doesn't cope well with our 40km/h school zones (certain times of the day and school days only) so can't be relied upon.
