ECO mode
ECO mode helps improve fuel
efficiency for eco-friendly
driving.
Fuel efficiency varies according
to the driver's driving habit and
road condition.
•
When ECO mode is selected, the
ECO indicator will illuminate on the
instrument cluster.
•
When ECO mode is activated:
- The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced if the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
- The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
- The shift pattern of the automatic
transmission may change.
- Engine noise may be louder at some
automatic transmission shifts as
down-shift requires pressing down
more on the accelerator.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is activated
to help improve fuel efficiency.
