ECON is an abbreviation that is a combination of Ecology, Conservation and Optimization, and is also called Eco in some cars. That is, the economic model of the car.
ECON mode works by using a variety of sensors to analyze the configuration that affects fuel consumption, such as transmission gear, engine speed, braking system and transmission oil temperature, and the ECU calculates the optimal fuel consumption to power the engine, so that the fuel consumption is lower than the normal driving mode. To put it bluntly, it is to control the speed of the engine in a reasonable gear, so as to reduce fuel consumption.
How to use ECON mode correctly?
Most of the cars are active Eco driving mode, that is, we can turn on Eco mode in normal driving, but above 120 yards, parking idling, N P, manual, especially in the case of uphill climbing, it is not necessary to turn on Eco mode, because in that case, not only can not give full play to Eco's economy, but also affect its power performance.
ECON does not recommend that you drive for long periods of time, because in ECO mode, the car's power will decrease and the throttle response will become very slow, which will become slower in ECO mode for an already slow car. It is not recommended to use this mode all the time, if you want to save fuel, you can use it in turn, first in ECON mode and then in normal mode for a while.
