What does the eco light on the dashboard mean?
1 Answers
The eco light on the dashboard indicates that the vehicle is in economy mode. Its function is to comprehensively judge and analyze factors affecting fuel consumption during driving, including automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel amount to supply the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode. Situations where the dashboard eco light doesn't function: 1. When vehicle speed exceeds 120km/h - speed takes priority and the energy-saving mode automatically deactivates; 2. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode; 3. When overcoming significant resistance requiring high torque output - the ECU prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, causing eco mode to deactivate.
