What does the ECON button in a car mean?
1 Answers
The ECON button in a car is the switch for the fuel-saving mode, which can be used to turn the fuel-saving mode on or off. Modern cars generally offer three driving modes to choose from: fuel-saving mode, comfort mode, and sport mode. In fuel-saving mode, the compressor is not turned off, but the control point for the compressor is raised, preventing it from running continuously. The start-stop point of the compressor is determined by the evaporation temperature. The working principle of ECON mainly involves analyzing various configurations that affect fuel consumption, such as transmission gear, engine speed, braking system, and transmission oil temperature, through multiple sensors. Then, the ECU calculates the amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine for operation, resulting in lower fuel consumption in ECON mode compared to normal driving mode.
