The ECO switch on the Highlander is located on the right side of the steering wheel. First, right-click to select the function, then use the down arrow key to scroll down. When you see ECO, use the center button to toggle the switch on or off. ECO stands for the first letters of the three English words: Ecology, Conservation, and Optimization. It is a vehicle energy-saving mode that, when activated, helps to conserve energy. How ECO works: ECO primarily operates by comprehensively analyzing and judging various factors that affect fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit then calculates the optimal fuel quantity to supply the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving modes. Simply put, it controls the engine's speed with appropriate gear selection to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption.
