Under what circumstances should the ECO mode be used?
1 Answers
ECO mode is used when the vehicle is moving at a constant speed. Since the ECO mode primarily functions through computer-controlled adjustments, it does not operate during idle parking or in manual mode. When the vehicle encounters situations requiring overcoming resistance, such as climbing a slope with high torque output, the ECO control unit will prioritize ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, thus deactivating the ECO mode. When ECO mode is enabled, the vehicle adjusts by reducing the throttle opening corresponding to the same accelerator pedal depth and shifting gears earlier. This aims to control engine speed through appropriate gear selection, minimizing unnecessary fuel consumption.
