Why does the Mercedes-Benz ECO display increase after starting?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz ECO mode showing an increase after starting means the energy-saving mode is activated. ECO is a symbol for green driving mode, which comes in two forms: passive and active. Modes: Generally, it can be divided into passive ECO driving mode and active ECO driving mode. The passive ECO driving mode mainly serves as a reminder and guidance function. The active ECO driving mode usually has a button; after activation, a series of driving settings will change. For example, the throttle opening corresponding to the same accelerator pedal depth becomes smaller (the accelerator becomes less sensitive), the transmission shift logic prioritizes fuel economy (shifting earlier), and some vehicles will also adjust the air conditioning output power simultaneously. When to enable ECO: Enabling ECO is most effective in urban congested traffic conditions. In such scenarios, strong power is not required, and the frequent stop-and-go leads to higher fuel consumption. Activating ECO mode not only reduces fuel consumption but also makes driving more comfortable.
