What does the ECO mode in the Leiling mean?
2 Answers
Leiling ECO is the energy-saving mode or economy mode. The following is a detailed introduction to the driving modes of the car: 1. NORMAL mode: Achieves the best balance between fuel economy and power performance. Suitable for city driving. 2. SPORT mode: Controls the transmission and engine for quick and powerful acceleration. This mode also alters the steering feel, making it suitable for situations requiring agile driving responses, such as driving on winding roads. When Sport mode is selected, the "SPORT" indicator on the multi-information display will light up. 3. ECO mode: Helps the driver accelerate in an environmentally friendly manner and improves fuel economy through moderate throttle characteristics and control of the air conditioning system (heating/cooling). When ECO mode is selected, the "ECO-MODE" indicator on the multi-information display will light up. When the air conditioning is in use, the system automatically switches to the air conditioning ECO mode for better fuel economy.
Last time I drove my brother's Levin, I noticed the ECO button and looked it up. This mode is an economic driving assistant. When activated, the car's computer softens throttle response to make power output smoother and avoid excessive fuel injection during sudden acceleration. For example, in city traffic, even if you floor the accelerator, it won't surge forward immediately but instead accelerates gradually to save fuel. The air conditioning also switches to an energy-saving mode with automatic fan speed control. On highways, I usually turn off ECO for more responsive power. However, this feature is very beginner-friendly—the green ECO indicator on the dashboard reminds you whether your driving habits are economical.
