When to Use ECON Mode?
1 Answers
ECO mode is used when you want to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, and it can be used in urban congested roads or on highways. ECO mode is the energy-saving mode of a car. When ECO mode is activated, the vehicle will make adjustments: the throttle opening corresponding to the same accelerator pedal depth will be smaller, and the transmission will shift up earlier. The purpose of this is to control the engine speed through reasonable gear selection and reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. Below is a detailed introduction about ECO: ECO is an English abbreviation, formed by the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). ECO mode is further divided into active ECO driving mode and non-active ECO driving mode. When the ECO indicator on the dashboard lights up, it indicates that the vehicle's economy mode has been activated. ECO mode is categorized into active and non-active types, with the difference being that the active type has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator lights up, 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 ECO indicator on the dashboard lights up, it is merely a reminder function. ECO will automatically assess your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator.
