What does the ECD light indicate?

ECD light on indicates that the car has entered the energy-saving mode, which means no cooling or heating is activated, only air supply. Here are the specific details about ECD: 1. Function: ECD is an energy conversion device, standing for Economy and Energy Conservation. The ECD light on indicates the energy-saving mode is activated. The energy-saving mode will display in the bar frame based on the driver's throttle pressure, aiming to cultivate good driving habits. Green lights on the dashboard indicate safety, while flashing yellow or red lights are warnings. 2. Mode: The economy mode can generally be divided into active economy driving mode and non-active economy driving mode. The main difference between these two lies in the intelligent control of energy usage distribution (including electricity, fuel, etc.) and reminder guidance. The active economy mode has a dedicated button, allowing the owner to choose whether to enable it.
I noticed the ECO light came on, like an old friend quietly reminding me in the car that the economy mode is now activated. This means the car is working hard to help me save fuel, such as when decelerating or driving smoothly, it lights up to encourage me not to stomp on the accelerator and maintain a steady speed. I also observed that when gas prices rose last month, I kept trying to keep this light on, and as a result, I got an extra dozen kilometers out of a full tank—it felt like a win. Regularly checking tire pressure is crucial too, because low pressure increases fuel consumption. If the ECO light doesn’t come on or flashes, there might be a minor issue with the system, but I never take it to the dealership; just changing the engine oil myself usually fixes it. In city driving, the light comes on frequently, but on the highway, it appears less often because the speed stabilizes, and the electronic system doesn’t see the need for such fuel-saving measures. Overall, it’s a thoughtful design that helps me develop good habits and save money.
