Active ECO operation
Active ECO helps improve fuel effi-
ciency by controlling the engine and
transaxle. It should be noted that fuel
efficiency can be changed by the dri-
ver's driving habits and road condi-
tions.
• When the Active ECO button is
pressed the ECO indicator (green)
will illuminate to show that the
Active ECO is operating.
• When the Active ECO is activated,
it does not turn off even though the
engine is restarted again. To turn
off the system, press the active
ECO button again.
• If Active ECO is turned off, it will
return to the normal mode.
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though there
is no change in the ECO indicator.
• When the coolant temperature is
low: The system will be limited until
the coolant temperature is in the
normal range.
• When driving uphill because the
engine torque is restricted at par-
tial throttle inputs.
• When using sports mode: The sys-
tem will be limited according to the
shift location.
• When the accelerator pedal is
deeply pressed for a few seconds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
