How to turn ECO mode on and off?
2 Answers
Primarily utilize the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel and the information displayed on the instrument cluster's LCD screen, with particular attention to the energy display area. Press the "OK" button on the right side of the steering wheel to access the menu, then use the triangular arrow keys to select the ECO mode. When the ECO icon appears on the display, it indicates that the ECO mode has been set. Use the up and down buttons on the steering wheel to turn off the ECO mode. When the display shows the "OFF" icon, it means the ECO mode is currently deactivated.
Turn on the ECO mode. My car has it and I use it often. It's very simple to activate—just press the button with a leaf or the word "ECO" on it, usually located on the center console. The indicator light will turn on to show it's working. To turn it off, press the button again until the light goes off. Some cars have this setting in the dashboard menu, controlled by buttons on the steering wheel—just find the power mode settings and switch it. ECO mode is most cost-effective in city traffic jams, as it automatically reduces throttle response and saves a lot of fuel, cutting monthly fuel costs by a few dozen dollars. However, on highways or when you need to accelerate for overtaking, I recommend turning it off for smoother power delivery. Don’t rush to turn it on during a cold start—wait until the engine reaches normal temperature. Remember to check it regularly to ensure the button isn’t stuck, which could affect functionality.
