What does Haval H2 ECON mean?

ECON refers to the car's eco mode switch, which can be used to turn the energy-saving mode on or off. Modern cars generally offer three driving modes to choose from: Eco Mode, Comfort Mode, and Sport Mode. Below is information about these three modes: Eco Mode: When the car is in this mode, fuel consumption is relatively low. The throttle pedal sensitivity decreases, and the transmission shifts up more aggressively. Comfort Mode: This mode is considered a normal operating mode for the car. In this mode, the throttle pedal response is more sensitive than in Eco Mode. Sport Mode: Sport Mode can be used during aggressive driving. After activating Sport Mode, the throttle pedal becomes highly responsive, and the transmission delays shifting. The transmission only upshifts when the engine speed reaches the redline. In Sport Mode, the engine speed is maintained at around 3,000 RPM, ensuring better power response during acceleration. When the car enters ECON mode, it achieves reduced fuel consumption and energy savings, but the power output is weakened. ECON can be understood as an abbreviation for 'economy.' In most cases, it is recommended to keep ECON mode enabled, except when high torque output is required (e.g., climbing hills) or when driving at very high speeds, where ECON mode must be turned off. Pressing the ECON button activates a low-carbon, eco-friendly driving mode. Subsequently, the ECU, engine, and transmission operate intelligently in the most fuel-efficient manner, achieving optimal fuel economy through rapid upshifts and smooth acceleration. The air conditioning system also enters an energy-saving state. When the driver presses the accelerator pedal deeply, the ECON system effectively controls the opening and closing of the intake valves to ensure smooth engine operation and energy efficiency. Although ECON mode is simple and effective to operate, it may not function under certain conditions: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, priority is given to speed, and the Eco Mode automatically deactivates. This means that if the speed exceeds the economical range (typically between 60-90 km/h), ECON mode will not save fuel. The key to ECON mode lies in the car's computer independently managing operations while driving to ensure effectiveness. Therefore, ECON does not function during idling, parking, or when the car is in N, P, or manual mode. When overcoming significant resistance or requiring high torque output (e.g., climbing hills), the ECU prioritizes providing sufficient power to drive the car, and ECON mode will not operate in such scenarios.
