Is it necessary to turn on the air conditioning ECO mode?
1 Answers
Whether to turn on the air conditioning ECO mode depends on the occupants' demand for indoor temperature. The air conditioning ECO mode is an energy-saving mode used in cooling conditions. It reduces the compressor's power by lowering the frequency of the air conditioning's start-stop cycles without affecting the cooling performance, meaning the compressor does not operate at maximum cooling power. The ECO mode will automatically turn off under the following circumstances: 1. When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, the ECO mode automatically turns off. 2. During idling or in N/P gear or manual mode, the ECO mode may also become ineffective. 3. When high torque output is required, such as during climbing or heavy load operation, the engine control unit (ECU) will disable the ECO mode to ensure sufficient vehicle power for driving.
