How to Turn Off Chevy ECO Mode?
2 Answers
To deactivate Chevy's ECO mode, follow these steps: 1. Press the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel to enter the menu; 2. Use the left/right arrow keys to select ECO mode (when the ECO icon appears on-screen, the mode is activated); 3. Press the up/down steering wheel buttons until the "OFF" icon displays to disable ECO mode. Chevrolet models include Equinox, Cavalier, Cruze, Trax, and Orlando. Taking the 2021 Equinox Frontier Edition as an example, its dimensions are: length 4646mm, width 1843mm, height 1684mm, with a 2725mm wheelbase.
I remember once when I was driving and wanted to turn off the ECO mode in my Chevrolet, the method was actually quite simple: most Chevrolet models have a button labeled ECO or with an energy-saving icon on the left side of the steering wheel or the center console area. Just press it lightly, and the indicator light on the dashboard will immediately turn off, switching the car to normal mode. If your car doesn't have a button, it might be turned off through the settings menu on the center screen—look for power-related settings under the vehicle options. I turned it off mainly because I needed more power when climbing steep hills. Turning it off makes the throttle response more agile, giving the car more punch, but it does increase fuel consumption, so I only turn it off on highways or during rapid acceleration. For regular city driving, keeping ECO mode on is more economical. Before operating, it's recommended to try it while parked to avoid distractions while driving. If you're unsure, checking the manual to confirm the button's location is more reassuring. The button position may vary slightly between different Chevrolet models—for example, it's more convenient in older models.
