Where is the Toyota Prado ECO switch?
1 Answers
The Prado ECO does not have a separate switch. It is activated by the trip meter toggle button located behind the 9 o'clock position on the steering wheel. Press and hold the button for about two seconds to activate it. Below is some information about ECO: 1. ECO is derived from the combination of three English words: Ecology, Conservation, and Optimization. 2. The ECO mode is commonly found in Japanese vehicles. This function represents the vehicle's fuel-saving mode, also known as the economy mode. When activated, it improves the vehicle's fuel efficiency, achieving energy-saving effects. 3. The ECO function in vehicles was primarily developed for environmental and economic purposes, while also reducing the overall cost of vehicle operation. 4. The ECO mode is not overly complex. It mainly involves the judgment and analysis of factors that affect fuel consumption, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The vehicle's onboard computer then controls the engine's fuel injection volume accordingly.
