What does the Hualing ECO mode mean?
1 Answers
Hualing ECO refers to the vehicle's economical driving mode. ECO is an English abbreviation derived from the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economical mode has been activated. ECO mode is divided into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has its own dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to enable it. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. Non-active ECO mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard ECO indicator light illuminates, it serves merely as a reminder function. ECO automatically evaluates driving behavior. If the current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator light. Most vehicles adopt the active ECO driving mode, meaning they have their own switch button. Therefore, ECO mode can be enabled during daily driving. However, in situations requiring more power, such as climbing hills, it is unnecessary to activate ECO mode, as it would not reflect the fuel-saving characteristics of ECO and could instead affect performance. Additionally, ECO mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the vehicle prioritizes speed, and ECO mode automatically deactivates. When idling or in N/P gear or manual mode, ECO may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing hills, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and ECO mode will similarly not function.
