Eco in a car refers to the economic driving mode. The driver can activate it by pressing the eco mode switch. Here are the relevant details: 1. Definition of eco: Eco is an English abbreviation formed from Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). When the eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economic mode is activated. 2. Active eco mode: The active mode has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to enable it. When the driver presses the eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light turns on, and the vehicle automatically adjusts settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. 3. Passive eco mode: The passive eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it serves as a reminder function. The eco mode automatically evaluates driving behavior. If the current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the eco indicator light. 4. Eco mode typically deactivates under the following conditions: (1) When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, the car prioritizes speed, and the eco mode automatically deactivates. (2) During idling or when in N/P gear or manual mode, the eco mode may also deactivate. (3) When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a slope, the engine control unit prioritizes delivering sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the eco mode will not function.

What are the body dimensions of the Changan CS15?

The body dimensions of the Changan CS15 are 4135mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1630mm in height, which are official data. The length of the Changan CS15 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The Changan CS15 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 78.5kw and a maximum torque of 145nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed dual-clutch transmission. There are relevant national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89,' the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, the significance of vehicle width data in national standards is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.
