ECO (ACTIVE ECO) MODE
• ACTIVE ECO system
enhances fuel efficiency
through eco control of
the engine and trans-
mission. The actual fuel
efficiency will depend on
personal driving style
and habits.
• By pressing the DRIVE
MODE button and
selecting ECO MODE,
green ECO indicator
light will illuminate.
ECO MODE Driving:
The vehicle engine and transmission
will operate in fuel economy oriented
mode.
ACTIVE ECO MODE system will
restrain fuel economy worsening
driving habits, such as sudden starts
and accelerations, compared to the
NORMAL MODE.
Conditions that limit Active
ECO MODE:
Below are a list of conditions in which
when in ACTIVE ECO MODE, the
indicator light will not change, but the
internal system may operate differ-
ently.
• When engine coolant temperature
is low:
When temperature of the transaxle
oil is below the normal range, the
ACTIVE ECO MODE may become
temporarily unavailable until the
transaxle oil heats up after vehicle
ignition.
• When in an uphill gradient:
Since the ACTIVE ECO MODE
partially limits the engine torque,
ACTIVE ECO MODE may become
temporarily unavailable when more
torque is essential for going uphill.
• When using the manual transmis-
sion operation mode:
If transmission operation is
changed from automatic to manual,
vehicle will reflect it and automati-
cally stop the ACTIVE ECO MODE.
