What is Prado ECO?

1 Answers

08/31/25 2:56am

ECO in Prado vehicles refers to the economic driving mode. ECO is an English abbreviation formed by 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 economic mode has been activated. ECO mode is divided into active and non-active types. The difference lies in 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 turns on, it serves merely as a reminder function. ECO automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your 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, it is unnecessary to enable ECO mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not reflect the economic fuel-saving characteristics of ECO and could also affect power performance. Additionally, ECO mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the system prioritizes speed, causing the ECO mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or when 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 not function in such scenarios.

How Often Should Shock Absorbers Be Replaced?

Shock absorbers should be replaced every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Over time, the vehicle's vibration filtering performance will deteriorate significantly, potentially affecting handling aspects such as braking and cornering. If the daily driving route has poor road conditions, this will accelerate the wear of the shock absorbers, and owners should replace them in advance to avoid driving safety issues. The impact of damaged shock absorbers on the vehicle: 1. If one shock absorber is leaking oil, it will cause the vehicle body to become unbalanced, with one side higher than the other, leading to automatic deviation while driving and exacerbating irregular tire wear; 2. If the shock absorber top rubber ages and falls off, it will cause the shock absorber to collide with other components, resulting in abnormal noises. Most abnormal noises from the chassis are due to this reason; 3. If the shock absorber spring becomes weak and lacks sufficient extension force, the shock absorption and cushioning effects will be greatly reduced, increasing the hydraulic pressure on the shock absorber and leading to oil leakage.

Is It Normal for the Front Lighting Indicator to Stay On?

It is normal for the front lighting indicator to stay on. The indicator light is connected in parallel across the switch. When the switch is turned on, the lighting is illuminated, and there is no voltage across the switch, so the indicator light turns off. When the switch is turned off, the lighting goes out, and at this time, there is voltage across the switch. One end of the switch is connected to the live wire, while the other end is connected to the neutral wire through the filament of the bulb. Therefore, when the switch is off, there is voltage across it, which is sufficient to make the indicator emit a faint glow. The headlight is an electrical device that converts electrical energy into light energy and projects it onto the road. It consists of a light-emitting bulb, a reflector that focuses and directs the light onto the road, and a lens that produces a reasonable light distribution. Vehicles are equipped with either 2 or 4 headlights at the front, along with 2 additional fog lights for road illumination during rain, snow, or fog.

Can an automatic transmission car be started in neutral?

An automatic transmission car can be started in neutral. As long as the gear is not left in R (Reverse), it will not harm the transmission. In fact, the P (Park) gear is almost the same as the N (Neutral) gear. If you push further to P gear, the TCU (Transmission Control Unit) will not issue a shift command, which is equivalent to neutral. Therefore, an automatic transmission car can be started when in neutral. Automatic transmission generally refers to the automatic gear-shifting mechanism in cars, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations. A typical automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low).

What is the difference between car primer and topcoat?

The differences between car primer and topcoat are: 1. Different composition: Primer consists of four parts: resin, filler, solvent, and additives; topcoat is composed of three parts: clear coat, color coat, and primer. 2. Different functions: Primer is the first layer of the paint system, used to level the paint surface, support the topcoat, provide fullness, and reduce costs; topcoat is the final coating layer, which increases the thickness of the paint film by adding layers of topcoat or applying thick coats. 3. Different roles: Topcoat has scratch resistance, gloss hardness, transparency feel, aging resistance, and yellowing resistance; primer fills the capillary pores in the steel plate, making it easier to apply paint on the surface, supports the topcoat to ensure it adheres tightly to the car surface, and helps reduce costs and save energy.

What happens if you forget to shift to P gear when parking with one-button start?

The consequences of forgetting to shift to P gear when parking with one-button start: the vehicle cannot be powered off, the vehicle cannot be turned off via the keyless start system, and the doors cannot be locked. When using the one-button start and stop function, it is essential to ensure that the vehicle is turned off before locking it. The primary step to turn off the vehicle with one-button start is to use the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Without releasing the pedal, shift the vehicle's gear to P, engage the vehicle's handbrake system, then release the brake pedal and press the one-button start button once to turn off the vehicle. You can check if the dashboard lights are off, as this indicates that the vehicle is turned off.
