ECO mode

ECO mode helps improve fuel economy for eco-friendly driving.

Fuel economy varies according to the driver's driving habit and road condition.

  • When ECO mode is selected, the ECO indicator illuminates on the instrument cluster.

  • When ECO mode is activated:

    • The acceleration response may be slightly reduced if the accelerator pedal is pressed moderately.

    • The air conditioning performance may be limited.

    • The shift pattern of the transmission may change.

    • Engine noise may be louder at some transmission shifts as downshift requires pressing down more on the accelerator pedal.

The above situations are normal conditions when ECO mode is activated to help improve fuel economy.

NORMAL mode

NORMAL mode provides smooth driving and a comfortable ride.

When NORMAL mode is selected, it does not appear on the instrument cluster.
