Under what circumstances should the car eco mode be used?
1 Answers
Usage scenarios for car eco mode: 1. In congested urban traffic; 2. On highways. The working principle of eco mode mainly involves analyzing various configurations that affect fuel consumption, such as transmission gear position, engine speed, braking system, and transmission oil temperature, through various sensors. Then, the ECU calculates a lower fuel quantity to provide to the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode. There are two types of eco modes: active and passive. The active eco mode usually has a button, allowing the driver to choose whether to enable it; the passive eco mode does not have a dedicated button and serves to remind the driver to save fuel. When an optimal fuel supply is achieved, the dashboard will display a green 'eco' indicator. If the accelerator is pressed hard for rapid acceleration or when encountering uphill sections, the 'eco' indicator will disappear.
