How to Turn Off ECO Mode in Hyundai Cars?

[AngelinaMarie]

ECO buttons are usually located on the left side of the car, marked with the letters 'ECO.' Some buttons are green in color, making them easy to identify. Press the button to turn it off. ECO stands for the initials of three English words: Ecology, Conservation, and Optimization. It is a fuel-saving mode in cars, and activating this mode helps conserve energy. How ECO Works: ECO primarily analyzes factors such as automatic transmission gear, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature—all of which affect fuel consumption—during driving. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel amount to supply the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving modes. In simple terms, it adjusts gear shifts to control engine speed, minimizing unnecessary fuel consumption. When Not to Use ECO Mode: When driving at high speeds (above 100 km/h), even if ECO is activated, the vehicle's computer prioritizes speed, and ECO mode automatically deactivates. When high torque output is needed, such as when climbing hills, the engine computer prioritizes delivering sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and ECO mode automatically turns off.
