What is the Audi A6's Economy Mode?

[BrantleyLee]

Audi A6's economy mode consumes less fuel compared to automatic mode. Difference in fuel consumption: The biggest difference between economy mode and automatic mode is that ECO economy mode can save energy. The ECO mode primarily makes comprehensive judgments on factors affecting fuel consumption, such as automatic transmission gears and engine speed, during vehicle movement. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel amount to supply the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode. Difference in driving style: Economy mode acts as an intelligent fuel-saving companion, reminding the driver to adopt an appropriate driving style. When the optimal fuel supply is achieved, the dashboard simultaneously displays a green "ECO" indicator. Difference in engine speed: When economy mode is activated, the vehicle automatically adjusts to the optimal engine speed to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. The CVT is set with special shifting speeds and ratios for ECO mode, making the engine speed changes smoother compared to normal mode.
