Is the Fuel-Saving Mode in Automatic Transmission Cars Effective?

[OIker]

The fuel-saving mode in automatic transmission cars is effective. During vehicle movement, it comprehensively evaluates and analyzes factors affecting fuel consumption such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit then calculates the optimal fuel quantity to supply the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to the normal driving mode. Tips for using automatic transmission: 1. If the vehicle speed is high, remember to use the manual shift mode (if available) to allow the transmission to fully output power. For overtaking or rapid acceleration, shift to the S (Sport) mode; if there is no S mode, gradually upshift. 2. When decelerating, not only apply the brakes but also downshift accordingly. Although modern cars automatically downshift, manual operation by the driver can be more direct and fuel-efficient. 3. Shifting gears (up or down) does not require braking; simply press the button or move the lever to the manual shift position while driving normally for higher power output.
