How to adjust the fuel-saving switch on Auman GTL?

[Javier]

Auman GTL fuel-saving switch usage is as follows: 1. E mode is the economy mode, used when the vehicle is empty or carrying light loads. 2. B mode is the standard mode, used when the vehicle is half-loaded or carrying medium-weight cargo. 3. P mode is the power mode, used when the vehicle is fully loaded or climbing slopes. 4. Each mode corresponds to different engine power outputs, fully considering fuel efficiency. Main functions of the fuel-saving switch: 1. Helps the vehicle save fuel more effectively. Trucks don't always run with full loads; sometimes they operate empty. In such cases, if the engine runs at full power, it significantly impacts fuel consumption. 2. The fuel-saving switch addresses this issue by allowing adjustment when the vehicle is empty, enabling the engine to operate with reduced power output for better fuel efficiency and optimal fuel economy.

When driving the Auman GTL truck, the fuel-saving switch is usually located on the left side of the steering wheel or on the dashboard, marked with an ECO or fuel-saving button or knob. Adjustment is simple: first, make sure the vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling—don’t fiddle with it while driving. Once you find the switch, press or turn it to the ECO position, and an indicator light will confirm activation. After adjustment, the throttle response will be smoother, acceleration less aggressive, but fuel consumption will improve, especially during steady highway speeds. I recommend checking the switch before each startup to ensure it’s functioning properly, and glancing at the vehicle manual to avoid mistakes. Regularly checking tire pressure can also enhance fuel efficiency. If the indicator light doesn’t turn on or there’s unusual noise, the contacts might be dirty or the wiring loose—promptly clean or wipe the contacts with a cloth. Overall, this feature is quite practical, but driving habits like avoiding sudden braking can also help save fuel.

Adjusting the fuel-saving switch on the Auman GTL is actually quite simple - the small button near the steering wheel is the key. I remember during my last long-distance trip when I pulled over to test it: just press the ECO button until the light comes on, while some older models require turning a knob to specific positions. After adjustment, the engine response felt slower but fuel consumption noticeably decreased, especially when climbing hills in mountainous areas. Never adjust the switch when the engine is off or during acceleration, as this may trigger fault codes and ironically increase fuel consumption. I've also found that combining this with steady driving habits like maintaining 60-80 km/h enhances fuel efficiency; incidentally, changing air filters can help save fuel too, but don't rely solely on the switch while neglecting overall maintenance. If the switch responds sluggishly, check that the battery voltage isn't too low to avoid continuous issues during long trips.

The fuel-saving switch of the Auman GTL is located on the side of the dashboard or below the steering wheel in the cab, usually as a button or knob control. When adjusting, stop the vehicle and press the button to switch modes. The indicator light turning on means the fuel-saving function is activated, adjusting engine parameters to slow response and reduce fuel consumption. I have tested the ECO mode while driving and found it can save about 5-10% fuel, but the effect is weaker with frequent starts and stops in urban areas. When operating, avoid using sharp objects to touch the switch to prevent damage to the wiring connections. Keeping the contacts clean is important to prevent oxidation and ensure long-term effectiveness. Related topics include discussing how fuel-saving is most noticeable when the engine load is light, such as driving on flat roads; using high-quality fuel in combination with the switch can make the effect more stable.
