Where is the ECO switch on the Toyota Land Cruiser?
1 Answers
The ECO switch on the Land Cruiser is located next to the gear lever. There is a button that can be pressed left or right. The left side is ECT (PWR), and the right side is 2nd gear start. When the button is pressed to the ECT direction, it activates the ECO mode. ECO stands for the initials of three English words: Ecology, Conservation, and Optimization. It is a vehicle fuel-saving mode, and activating this mode can help save energy. Principle of ECO: ECO primarily involves comprehensive judgment and analysis of factors affecting fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel amount to be supplied to the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving modes. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with appropriate gear positions to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption.
