What does the flashing eco light mean?

[LeGabrielle]

eco light on means economy mode. Principle of ECO: ECO mainly makes a comprehensive judgment and analysis of the conditions that affect fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel quantity to provide to the engine for work, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to ordinary driving modes. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with reasonable gear shifts to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. When to turn on ECO: ECO works best in urban congested traffic conditions. In such scenarios, strong power is not required, and the frequent stop-and-go leads to higher fuel consumption. Turning on ECO mode not only reduces fuel consumption but also makes driving more comfortable. When not to turn on ECO: In a few cases, it is unnecessary to turn on ECO: 1. When the car is driving at high speed (up to 100km/h), even if ECO is turned on, the vehicle computer will prioritize speed, and the ECO mode will automatically deactivate. 2. When high torque output is needed, such as when climbing a mountain, the engine computer will prioritize ensuring and providing sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will automatically deactivate.
