Which mode should be used for Hongqi HS5 when driving on highways?
1 Answers
While driving, the vehicle can switch between driving modes freely. When overtaking on highways, switching to Sport Mode provides quicker throttle response and more powerful acceleration. Eco Mode: Activating this mode puts the vehicle in an economical driving state. The vehicle's computer controls fuel injection volume, while the transmission control module adjusts shift logic to maintain optimal fuel efficiency. During operation, the system 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 then calculates and delivers the optimal fuel amount to the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode. Normal Mode: Normal Mode maintains balanced power output while prioritizing better fuel economy. With this mode engaged, the vehicle's throttle response remains most balanced, offering simpler and more comfortable handling that's easier to master. Sport Mode: When Sport Mode is activated, the electronic control unit increases engine speed to maintain sufficient torque, enabling rapid acceleration and deceleration. This allows the vehicle's performance to be fully demonstrated. Additionally, the vehicle adjusts other settings such as stiffening the suspension for greater support, increasing throttle sensitivity, boosting engine air intake, though this also results in higher fuel consumption.
