What does ECO mode mean?

[StColton]

Vehicle ECO mode, also known as ECO Pro mode in some cars, is the energy-saving mode of the vehicle. The ECO button mode can be activated via a button on the center console. When the ECO mode is activated, the fuel-saving performance of the vehicle is significantly improved when driving in urban road conditions. Below is a related introduction to ECO mode: 1. The working principle of ECO mode mainly involves adjusting various parameters such as transmission gear, engine speed, braking system, and transmission oil temperature through various sensors. The vehicle's computer (ECU) then calculates the optimal fuel injection amount to achieve fuel savings. Essentially, it controls the car to avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving and prevents sudden acceleration, thereby achieving the goal of fuel efficiency. 2. Generally, the ECO mode in cars is divided into two types: active ECO driving mode and passive ECO driving mode. The main difference is that the active mode has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to enable it. When the energy-saving mode is activated, the car automatically controls the shifting logic of the transmission to save fuel, but this results in reduced power output. If the driver desires more power, they can manually turn off the ECO mode.
