Which driving mode to use on highways?
1 Answers
On highways, you should choose: Comfort mode or ECO mode. Different driving modes will adjust the vehicle's steering, transmission, engine, suspension response, and the timing and intensity of electronic stability program intervention according to the system's predefined parameters. The ECO mode of a car is when the vehicle's driving computer dynamically controls the matching of gears and engine speed based on factors such as speed, engine RPM, water temperature, and throttle position, thereby achieving energy-saving and fuel-efficient effects. In other words, by shifting gears earlier or later, the engine RPM is kept within a relatively low range. Additionally, by reducing the sensitivity of throttle opening control, a relatively fuel-saving effect is achieved, contributing to fuel economy. The ECO mode mainly functions when the vehicle is in motion and controlled by the computer, so it does not work during idle stops or in N, P gears, or manual mode. The Comfort mode refers to the daily driving mode that pursues comfort, stability, and fuel efficiency. In this mode, the car's suspension is softer, providing excellent smoothness and passability, with gentle starts and stops. The suspension performance is more linear and softer, steering response is improved, and body stability is further enhanced.
