Driving and Operating
Pressing the eco button by the shift
lever will engage fuel economy
mode. When activated, the eco light
in the instrument cluster will come
on. See

. Pressing the button a
second time will turn fuel economy
mode off.
When fuel economy mode is on:
.
The transmission will upshift
sooner, and downshift later.
.
The torque converter will lock up
sooner, and stay on longer.
.
The gas pedal will be less
sensitive.
.
The vehicle's computers will
more aggressively shut off fuel
to the engine under deceleration.

The engine operates at lower
rpm's in fuel economy mode,
which can increase noise and
vibration. This is normal.
Drive Systems
All-Wheel Drive
Vehicles with this feature transfer
torque as required to the rear
wheels. It is fully automatic, and
adjusts itself as needed for road
conditions.
AWD system performance will be
automatically reduced when you use
the compact spare. To restore full
AWD operation and prevent
excessive wear on the system,
replace the compact spare with a
full-size tire as soon as possible.
