What is the correct way to use the car ECO mode?
1 Answers
There are two main types of ECO driving modes: active ECO driving mode and non-active ECO driving mode. The main difference lies in the intelligent control of energy usage distribution and reminder guidance. Non-active ECO driving mode primarily serves as a reminder and guidance function, teaching drivers how to save fuel. Unlike the active ECO mode, it does not have a dedicated button to turn on or off. Active ECO driving mode can help save fuel when driving at an economical speed. Some vehicles can even control the air conditioning to save electricity. Active ECO mode usually has a dedicated control button, which the driver can turn on when needed. Generally, the ECO mode can be turned off when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N or P gear, or in manual mode. It is particularly important to note that there is no need to activate this mode during uphill driving.
