Under What Circumstances is ECO Mode More Fuel-Efficient?

[AdalynnLynn]

In congested urban traffic conditions, activating ECO mode yields the best fuel-saving results. In such stop-and-go city driving scenarios where high power output is unnecessary and fuel consumption tends to be elevated, enabling ECO mode not only reduces fuel usage but also enhances driving comfort. Scenarios where ECO activation is unnecessary: There are limited circumstances where ECO mode isn't required: 1. During high-speed driving (exceeding 100km/h) - even with ECO engaged, the vehicle's computer prioritizes maintaining speed, automatically deactivating ECO functionality. 2. When substantial torque output is needed, such as during hill climbing - the engine control unit will prioritize delivering sufficient power to propel the vehicle, causing ECO mode to automatically disengage. ECO button location: The ECO button is typically positioned on the left side of the vehicle's dashboard, clearly marked with 'ECO' lettering. Some manufacturers use distinctive green coloring for this button, making it easily identifiable.
