Driving your vehicle
ECO mode
When ECO mode is
selected by pressing the
DRIVE MODE button, the
ECO indicator will illumi-
nate on the instrument
cluster.

when the engine is turned OFF

Information
Fuel efficiency depends on the driver's
driving habit and road condition.
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.
• The engine noise may be louder at
some automatic transmission
shifts as down-shift requires press-
ing down more on the accelerator.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated to help improve fuel efficiency.
Limitation of ECO mode operation:
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
• When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
• When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
• When driving the vehicle in manual
shift mode using the paddle shifter.
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
CUSTOM mode
When CUSTOM mode is
selected by pressing the
DRIVE MODE button, the
CUSTOM mode indicator
will illuminate on the
instrument cluster.
• In CUSTOM mode, the driver can
