What is driving mode switching?

ECO The name synthesized by Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy conservation) and Optimization (power) derived from a birth beginning, we make technology, environmental protection and economic development as the basic concept of the design of these three ECO intelligent engine performance has become a family of products has always been the pursuit of quality. Some manufacturers also known as “ECON”, but anyway you can understand it as referred to economy (the economy) is.

1.ECO noun interpretation saving mode

ECO the name of Ecology (green), Conservation (energy) and Optimization (power) derived synthesis, starting from birth, is technology, environmental protection and economic development as the basic design philosophy, these three performance has become ECO intelligent engine family of products has always been the pursuit of quality. Some manufacturers also known as “ECON”, but anyway you can understand it as referred to economy (the economy) is.

2.ECO modes

ECO ECO can be divided into active and non-active mode driving ECO driving mode.

3. The active drive mode ECO basic description

Active ECO mode driving are generally equipped with key, the owner can choose whether to open, after opening, relating to the driving range setting change , such as the same as the depth of the accelerator pedal corresponding to the throttle opening degree smaller (becomes insensitive accelerator), a transmission shift is more emphasis on economic logic (upshift earlier), but also some of the vehicle while adjusting the output power of the air conditioner. Different manufacturers ECO mode setting will be different, but the basic principles are the same, that is to influence the driving characteristics of the vehicle by changing the computer program. Common in Japanese and Korean series vehicles, such as: new Nissan Teana, Dongfeng Honda Civic, Beijing Modern Lang move and so on.

Active mode ECOThe main principle is not very complex, mainly in the vehicle travel process, the fuel consumption conditions affecting the automatic transmission gear, engine speed, vehicle speed, transmission oil temperature and the like braking comprehensive judgment, analysis, by the control unit ECU calculate the optimal amount of fuel supplied to the engine work, so that effectively reduce fuel consumption than the normal driving mode. Simply put, at a reasonable range control engine speed, to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.

Although effective and easy to operate significantly, ECO mode but in certain cases can not play a role. When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km / h, when the vehicle speed is a priority, self-saving mode failure, in other words, if it exceeds economic speed (typically between 60-90 km / h) are more, then it can not play the ECO mode the role of fuel-efficient. Second, ECO mode is primarily self-control, to be effective, and therefore stop at idle or N, P block and a manual mode, ECO function does not work by the same computer in the vehicle traveling. Third, when a certain resistance is overcome, a large torque output, such as during hill climbing and other circumstances, the ECU determines the priority to ensure sufficient computer power driven vehicle, ECO mode will not work.

When the optimum fuel supply, the instrument panel will simultaneously display a green “ECO” word, if vigorously pressed on the accelerator to accelerate, or face climbing sections , “ECO” word will disappear. ECO mode is turned on, the first vehicle to automatically match the best gear, speed to reduce fuel consumption, while the owners need while driving, take the initiative to control the throttle, brake coordination in order to achieve the most ideal fuel.

4. Non-active drive mode ECO basic description

ECO distinguish the non-active drive mode to the former it is no dedicated keys, since it is just a reminder, a guiding function. Simply put, it just teaches you how to make fuel-efficient, rather than go through substantial intervention to ECU intelligent control to achieve the purpose of the economy. Such as the Buick Excelle ECO mode is this one.
