What does the ECO mode in car air conditioning mean?
1 Answers
ECO stands for Economic Mode. When the ECO switch is pressed, the air conditioning operates in economic mode, where the set temperature of the car's air conditioning cooling system is relatively higher. This means the compressor operates for shorter durations, reducing the engine load and saving fuel consumption. Here are some details about the ECO mode: 1. Energy-saving principle: The vehicle's computer assesses factors affecting fuel consumption, such as transmission gear position, engine speed, and transmission oil temperature, to rationally control these gears and reduce unnecessary fuel usage. 2. ECO mode may become ineffective under the following conditions: when the vehicle speed exceeds 120km/h; during idle or in N/P gear; or when the car requires significant power to operate.
