What is the ECT in a car?

[SanLola]

The ECT mode in a car is a rapid acceleration mode, similar to a sports racing mode. It can quickly increase the engine's RPM, but fuel consumption will significantly increase. It is mostly used for highway driving. When activated, the throttle feels more responsive and direct, and the gear shift timing typically occurs above 4500 RPM. The usage of ECT is as follows: 1. When the ECT switch is turned on, the transmission mode switches to sport mode. In this mode, the transmission downshifts more frequently and responsively. Additionally, since the gear is limited to a lower range, the engine RPM increases accordingly, torque output rises, and the vehicle's power performance is greatly enhanced. 2. When the ECT switch is turned off, the transmission will switch back to standard mode. In this mode, the transmission's shift logic will determine the timing of gear shifts based on the actual road conditions and the driver's intentions.
