The Elantra's ECO mode can be controlled via the DRIVE MODE button located on the right side of the steering wheel, which allows switching the vehicle's driving modes and also serves as the ECO switch. Below is an introduction to ECO: 1. The name ECO is derived from the synthesis of Ecology, Conservation, and Optimization. 2. Since its inception, it has been designed with the fundamental principles of technology, environmental protection, and economy in mind. These three attributes have become the enduring qualities pursued by the ECO intelligent engine family series. Here are the main principles of the ECO mode: 1. Primarily, during vehicle movement, it comprehensively evaluates and analyzes factors affecting 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. 2. It controls the engine speed through appropriate gear selection to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption. The ECO mode mainly functions during vehicle movement through computer-controlled operations. Therefore, it does not operate during idle stops, in N or P gear positions, or in manual mode.
