ECO index refers to the fuel-saving mode. When activated, the vehicle's computer changes the normal shifting logic, and the throttle pedal response slows down accordingly to achieve fuel-saving effects. ECO stands for the initials of three English words: Ecology, Conservation, and Optimization. It is a car energy-saving mode, and activating this mode can help save energy. The principle of ECO: ECO mainly involves making comprehensive judgments and analyses of factors that affect fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel quantity to be supplied to the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving modes. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with appropriate gear positions to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption.
