Publication number: 20200043259Abstract: A low utilization monitoring system for a motor vehicle includes a user interface and an electronic control unit (ECU) that receives instructions from the user interface. An algorithm is implemented in the ECU. The algorithm monitors information associated with the operation of the motor vehicle, and, upon receiving instructions from the user interface, the ECU issues a low utilization code based on the information. The low utilization code is then associated to an instructional material that is conveyed back to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2018Publication date: February 6, 2020Inventor: Daniel P.
