How to Turn Off ECO Mode in Fit?

To turn off the ECO mode in the Fit, simply press the ECO mode button located next to the gear shift lever. The ECO mode works by analyzing various factors during vehicle movement, such as the automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, and transmission oil temperature, all of which affect fuel consumption. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal amount of fuel to supply to the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving modes. The Fit is a hatchback model launched by GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4065mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1525mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2530mm. The car features the family-style front face design concept "Solid Wing," where the front grille integrates with the headlights, highlighting a sharp and sporty appearance.

I've been driving my Fit to work for over two years, and turning off the Eco mode is a piece of cake. After starting the engine, with just a glance, you can spot a small button labeled 'Eco' near the steering wheel or on the center console. Press it once, and when the indicator light goes off, it's turned off. Why turn it off? In traffic jams, this mode makes the throttle response sluggish; turning it off gives much quicker acceleration for overtaking, making the drive smoother. Fuel consumption might increase a bit, but the extra cost for daily commuting is negligible. Last week, I turned off Eco on the highway during rain, and the acceleration felt much more stable. It's fun to get used to switching it on and off occasionally—no need to worry about harming the car. Plus, the Fit's design is user-friendly; after turning it off, the dashboard turns blue or displays a message indicating the Eco mode is deactivated, making it clear at a glance. For long-term driving, it's advisable to adjust based on road conditions to balance power and fuel efficiency.

As an enthusiast of vehicle electronic systems, I find the Fit's Eco mode quite intriguing. The button is typically located below the center console or beside the steering wheel stalk—just press it after starting the engine to deactivate. Essentially, this mode conserves fuel by limiting engine power; turning it off delivers sharper acceleration, ideal for hill climbs or highway overtaking. However, fuel consumption may increase by around 5%, requiring a trade-off. I often disable it during long trips to experience the car's raw performance. The underlying logic involves ECU module adjustments, and deactivating it won’t cause issues. The Fit’s info display sometimes shows mode status, reverting to the normal theme once turned off. Beginners should refer to the manual for button diagrams to get started easily. From a technical standpoint, this feature is safe and reliable—regularly toggling it can even help maintain the system.

As someone who has been driving for years, I advise caution when turning off Eco mode. On the Fit, simply press the button to deactivate it – the light turns off to confirm. The benefit is quicker acceleration, especially during sharp turns or when carrying heavy loads. However, Eco mode was designed for fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness; disabling it will increase fuel consumption, which may not be ideal for those on a tight budget. I recommend turning it off only when necessary, such as on highways or uphill climbs, and reactivating it afterward. From a safety perspective, the car becomes more responsive when Eco is off, so beginners should adapt to prevent sudden braking. The process is simple: press the button within three seconds after starting the car. Don’t forget to regularly check the button for wear to avoid accidental presses. Keeping the mode on auto is the most hassle-free option.
