FUEL ECONOMY (ECON) MODE
The Fuel Economy (ECON) mode can improve the vehicle’s overall fuel economy during
normal driving conditions.
• Push the ECON switch in the center
stack of the instrument panel and a
green light will indicate the ECON mode
is engaged.
When the ECON Mode is engaged, the ve-
hicle control systems will be able to change
the following:
• The transmission will upshift sooner and
downshift later.
• The transmission will skip select gears
during shifts to allow the engine to oper-
ate at lower speeds.
• The torque converter clutch may engage
sooner (lower engine rpm’s) and remain
on longer.
• The engine idle speed will be lower.
• The overall driving performance will be more conservative.
