The ECO switch on the Highlander is located on the right side of the steering wheel. Use the right directional button to select functions, then press the down directional button to scroll down until you see ECO, and finally use the center button to toggle the switch on or off. How ECO works: ECO primarily operates by comprehensively analyzing and evaluating various factors during vehicle movement that affect fuel consumption, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit 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 speed with appropriate gear selection to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption. When to use ECO mode: The ECO mode is most effective when driving in congested urban traffic. In such stop-and-go conditions where strong power is not required and fuel consumption tends to be high, activating ECO mode not only reduces fuel consumption but also enhances driving comfort.
