To disable the Yaris ECO mode, follow these steps: 1. Switch to the total mileage display. 2. Press and hold the odometer button for about 5 seconds until the 'eco off' or 'on' toggle appears. 3. After selecting 'off', continue holding for 5 seconds to return to the total mileage display. Below is additional information about ECO mode: 1. ECO mode is a driving style, also known as fuel-saving mode. 2. In ECO state, the vehicle makes every effort to reduce fuel consumption, which may alter driving sensations. 3. ECO mode essentially simulates gentle driving, leaving minimal room for computer optimization if the driver already achieves maximum efficiency. 4. For aggressive drivers who frequently floor the accelerator, ECO's fuel-saving effect becomes noticeable, especially during stop-and-go traffic where its efficiency is more pronounced.

When I used to drive the Yaris L for city commuting, the ECO mode did save fuel but felt sluggish. Turning it off made driving much easier. There's a control button on the left side of the steering wheel—press it to access the dashboard menu, find the ECO display, and turn it off. Some people think keeping ECO on saves a bit on fuel costs, but with it off, the car responds quicker, making overtaking more confident. In daily city driving with lots of traffic lights, the frequent start-stop system is related to ECO, but turning it off doesn't affect other functions. Personally, after turning it off, my fuel consumption increased just slightly, but the driving experience improved significantly. I recommend trying it off during traffic jams.

I've been driving the Yaris L for almost three years, with the ECO mode on by default, and it's simple to turn off. Usually, it's the button on the left side of the steering wheel or the settings on the dashboard, where you can select to turn off ECO. After disabling this mode, the acceleration becomes noticeably smoother, especially when driving on the highway, with more power available. Occasionally, fuel consumption may slightly increase, but in the long run, it helps protect the engine. By the way, in summer, if the ECO mode is on while the air conditioning is running, the car feels sluggish; turning it off actually makes driving more comfortable. Always check the settings when starting the car, and avoid adjusting them while driving to prevent distractions.

Turning off the ECO mode in my Yaris is effortless, just a few presses on the steering wheel buttons. I prefer driving with it off because the throttle feels too sluggish with ECO on, which affects acceleration safety. After disabling it, the car responds much more sensitively, especially warming up faster in winter. Occasionally, the fuel consumption is slightly higher, but it's not a big deal – daily commuting becomes more comfortable.
