What does it mean when the car's eco light is on?
1 Answers
When the car's eco light is on, it indicates that the vehicle is operating in fuel-saving mode. The eco mode controls fuel consumption by regulating the throttle and fuel injector. Once activated, the vehicle's computer reduces the engine's output power to achieve lower fuel consumption. There are two types of eco driving modes: active and passive. The active mode usually comes with a dedicated button, allowing the driver to manually enable or disable it. The passive mode does not have a specific button; it serves as a reminder to save fuel. When the optimal fuel supply level is reached, the dashboard will display a green 'eco' indicator.
