How to Turn Off ECO Mode in Chevrolet?
2 Answers
Chevrolet offers various models, and the ECO mode is generally divided into two types: active ECO driving mode and passive ECO driving mode. The active mode has a dedicated button to control the activation or deactivation of ECO mode; the passive mode cannot be turned off. Under ECO mode, the vehicle's power output is reduced. Taking the Chevrolet Monza as an example, it is a compact sedan under SAIC-GM Chevrolet, featuring a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4614mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1485mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640mm.
I remember one time when I was driving my old Chevrolet to the suburbs and encountered a steep hill where the car clearly lacked power. I realized the Eco mode was on, limiting the engine output. I quickly tried turning it off: after starting the vehicle, place your hand on the left side of the steering wheel, find a button labeled Settings or Driving Mode, press it to bring up the dashboard menu, rotate the knob to select the Eco option, and then press the confirm button to turn it off. The whole process feels like switching difficulty levels in a game—simple and straightforward. Eco mode is mainly for fuel efficiency, but when you're driving on highways or carrying heavy loads, turning it off makes the engine more responsive and acceleration more powerful. My neighbor often says this mode is great for city commuting, but for long trips, you should check it carefully because it might weaken the air conditioning. It's recommended to keep it on for daily fuel savings and turn it off when extra power is needed, avoiding frequent switches to prevent battery wear. Regular maintenance at the 4S shop also helps keep the system more stable.
