What does ECT on a car mean?
1 Answers
ECT on a car refers to the quick acceleration mode, similar to a sports racing mode, which can rapidly increase the engine's RPM but will also lead to higher fuel consumption. It is mostly used for highway driving. When activated, the throttle becomes more responsive and direct, with gear shifts occurring above 4,500 RPM. The ECT button is commonly found on Japanese cars, especially Toyota vehicles. The ECT system is known as the Electronic Throttle Control System and includes different modes such as Normal Mode, Sport Mode, and Snow Mode. Normal Mode, also referred to as Economy Mode, enhances fuel efficiency and reduces fuel consumption.
