How to Turn Off ECO Mode in the Levin?
2 Answers
The Levin does not have an ECO mode switch; it can only be turned off by pressing the accelerator hard or switching to S mode. ECO mode primarily functions during vehicle movement by comprehensively analyzing and judging factors that affect fuel consumption, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel quantity to supply the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving modes. The Levin is a new sensory compact sedan customized based on Toyota's MC platform. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4640mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height. The Levin adopts the North American version's styling, with increased lines on the front face compared to the older model, raised front fenders on both sides, and headlights redesigned into a hook shape.
Regarding the method to turn off ECO mode in the Toyota Levin, I’ve been driving this car for over a year and often disable it during city commuting because ECO mode makes acceleration sluggish, always feeling a step behind in traffic jams. The method is simple: After starting the vehicle, look for the button on the left or right side of the steering wheel—there’s usually a dashboard control button (often with an arrow symbol). Press it to enter the menu, find the 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Drive Mode' option, scroll to the ECO mode, and turn it off. If you’re unsure how to locate it, the Levin’s central display screen can also be used—tap 'Settings' on the screen, then navigate to the drive mode section to adjust. I recommend doing this when safely parked, as operating it while driving can be distracting and unsafe. After disabling it, fuel consumption may slightly increase, but the throttle response becomes more agile, making it suitable for overtaking or driving on mountain roads. Developing a habit of regularly checking mode settings can enhance your driving experience and prevent last-minute confusion during sudden needs.
