Active ECO operation

Active ECO helps improve fuel efficiency by controlling the engine and transmission. But fuel-efficiency can be affected by the driver's driving habits and road conditions.

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.

When Active ECO is activated:

The engine noise may get louder.
The vehicle speed may slightly be reduced.
The air conditioner performance may be affected.

When the accelerator pedal is deeply pressed for a few seconds:

The system will be limited, as it has determined that the driver has accelerated judging that the driver wants to speed up.
