The eco button in the car is a fuel-saving mode, commonly found in Korean and Japanese cars. When the eco indicator light on the dashboard is on, it indicates that the car's economy mode has been activated. There are two types of eco modes: active and non-active. The active mode has an independent button, allowing the owner to choose whether to turn it on. Once activated, the vehicle will automatically adjust its settings. The non-active mode does not have a dedicated button; when the eco indicator light is on, the car will automatically evaluate the driver's behavior and make corresponding adjustments. The eco mode will be deactivated under the following circumstances: 1. When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour; 2. When the car is idling or in N or P gear; 3. When the car requires significant power to drive. The principle of eco energy saving: The car's computer evaluates factors that affect fuel consumption, such as transmission gear, engine speed, and transmission oil temperature, and then reasonably controls these gears to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.

How to Solve High Fuel Consumption in Old Tiida?

Avoid sudden acceleration and refrain from flooring the throttle to improve driving habits. Gently press the accelerator pedal and gradually increase speed. When the car reaches a certain gear speed, shift from low to high gears smoothly following the engine's startup sound. If the throttle is suddenly released, it will cause the engine speed to drop sharply, leading to a drag effect as the car tries to counteract the inertia generated during driving.

How to Deal with High Fuel Consumption in Cars?

First, regularly check the tire pressure to ensure it is at the normal level. Use the lowest viscosity engine oil. The lower the viscosity of the engine oil, the less effort the engine requires, leading to better fuel efficiency. Engine damage can reduce the engine's efficiency, resulting in wasted gasoline. Dents on the car body can increase the aerodynamic resistance encountered while driving.

What to Do When a Car Radiator Leaks Coolant?

Check for signs of oil emulsification (cylinder head gasket failure or erosion). If present, disassemble the engine and replace the cylinder head gasket. After 5~10 minutes of initiating the major coolant circulation, any leaks (or coolant loss) in the cooling system—whether from the radiator, rubber hoses, or gaskets—will cease. Promptly use a screwdriver to secure the rubber hose connector clamp around the hose joint.

What does car suspension mean?

Car suspension refers to the entire support system composed of springs and shock absorbers between the body and the tires. Its function is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, buffer the impact from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, and dampen the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. The suspension system should support the body and improve the riding experience. Different suspension setups will give drivers different driving sensations. Although seemingly simple in appearance, the suspension system integrates multiple forces, determining the vehicle's stability, comfort, and safety, making it one of the most critical components of modern cars.
