How to turn off the ECO mode on the dashboard?

Switch the square button below the dashboard brightness adjustment on the left side of the dashboard to the ECO-ON interface, then press and hold to turn off the ECO mode. More detailed information is as follows: 1. The ECO mode of a car: Generally, the ECO mode of a car is divided into active ECO driving mode and passive ECO driving mode. The main difference lies in the intelligent control of resource allocation (including fuel, electricity, etc.) and reminder guidance. 2. Passive ECO does not have a dedicated button: Passive ECO does not have a dedicated button; it is merely a reminder function. When driving, there will be a green ECO reminder symbol on the dashboard. When the speed exceeds 20 km/h, the ECO mode will intelligently evaluate the current fuel consumption. When the optimal fuel supply is achieved, the dashboard will simultaneously display the green ECO symbol. If the driver presses the accelerator pedal hard to accelerate or encounters an uphill section, the ECO symbol will disappear. The specific experience is that without the ECO mode, the car will surge forward when the accelerator is pressed hard. When the ECO mode is enabled, the car feels sluggish, commonly referred to as "weak." Therefore, in simple terms, the ECO mode has the function of preventing hard acceleration.

Many drivers find the ECO indicator on the dashboard annoying and want to turn it off. It's actually quite simple – most cars have a physical button with a leaf symbol near the steering wheel; press it until the light goes off. If you can't find the button, don't worry. I've tried operating through the dashboard settings menu: use the right steering wheel button to switch to the settings page, scroll down to 'Driving Mode' or 'ECO Prompt,' and select 'Off.' Some models make it easier to operate through the central screen – try opening the vehicle settings and turning off the energy-saving related options. Note that in some cars, the ECO mode is linked to the auto start-stop function, so turning off ECO will also disable start-stop. Also, it's best not to operate while driving; find a safe place to park before making adjustments.

The ECO indicator flashing on the dashboard can be annoying while driving, so it's understandable to want to turn it off. Generally, there are three methods: First, check around the center console or gear shift for a physical button labeled ECO—press it firmly and the indicator will disappear. Second, use the multifunction steering wheel buttons to access the trip computer menu, navigate to the fuel-saving options, and disable the alert. If all else fails, consult the manual or look for an electronic version of the operation guide, as most brand websites now provide detailed instructions. The process varies significantly between models—for example, Japanese cars often retain physical buttons, while domestic EV startups may require disabling it via the central touchscreen. In reality, ECO merely indicates whether your current driving style is fuel-efficient and doesn't affect vehicle performance, so turning it off is purely a matter of personal preference.

Turning off the ECO indicator on the dashboard is actually quite simple. Most vehicles have a dedicated ECO button in the lower-left function area of the steering wheel – just press and hold for three seconds to deactivate it. For full digital instrument clusters, first access the vehicle control menu and disable the ECO reminder under 'Driver Assistance' or 'Energy Saving Settings'. Some premium models require using the right steering wheel scroll wheel to select instrument modes; switching to Sport or Custom mode automatically removes the ECO display. I've noticed American cars often bury this setting in the third layer of general menus, while German models are more straightforward. Disabling ECO doesn't affect fuel consumption – it merely stops displaying the efficiency rating without any performance impact.
