Fuel Economy (ECON) Mode
The Fuel Economy (ECON) mode can improve the vehi-
cle’s overall fuel economy during normal driving condi-

•
The transmission will upshift sooner and downshift
later.
•
The transmission will skip select gears during shifts to
allow the engine to operate at lower speeds.
•
The torque converter clutch will engage at lower
engine speeds and remain on longer.
•
The engine idle speed will be lower.
•
The overall driving performance will be more conser-
vative.
•
Some ECON mode functions may be temporarily
inhibited based on temperature and other factors.
