The working principle of ECO mode is to adjust the valve angle and fuel injection volume through the trip computer, and calculate the optimal fuel amount by reasonably matching the transmission gear, engine speed, braking system and transmission oil temperature, so that the fuel consumption in ECO mode is lower than that of ordinary driving mode.
As for whether it is necessary to turn on ECO mode, it depends on the individual's driving habits and needs. For those who are economical and environmentally conscious, it is necessary to turn on the ECO mode. Because the eco mode reduces the fuel consumption of the vehicle, thus reducing fuel consumption and reducing exhaust emissions, it has a positive effect on the protection of the environment.
In addition, the ECO mode is also very practical for some specific occasions and specific vehicles. For example, in the case of urban traffic jams and slow driving, turning on ECO mode can reduce the fuel consumption of the vehicle, thereby reducing fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions. In addition, for some hybrid models, ECO mode can better balance the power output of the engine and electric motor, thereby improving the fuel economy and power performance of the vehicle.
However, it should be noted that turning on ECO mode may sacrifice some parts of the driving experience, such as the power becomes fleshy, the transmission is unresponsive, etc. Therefore, in situations such as overtaking or climbing, the ECU will determine that the performance needs are met first, and the ECO mode will be turned off. In addition, the ECO mode is not very useful at high speeds.
In short, whether or not to turn on ECO mode depends on the individual's driving habits and needs. For drivers who are economical and environmentally conscious, it is necessary to turn on ECO mode. However, when high-performance driving is required, consider turning off the ECO mode for a better driving experience.
