When this mode is activated, the following characteristics are modified:
- The automatic transmission's shifting points
- The engine management system and accelerator pedal response
- Climate system settings: certain functions will be temporarily reduced or deactivated
- Information is shown in an ECO gauge in the instrument panel to help promote more economical driving
Note
When Eco is activated, several climate system parameters are changed and the function of certain current-consuming systems will be reduced.
Some of these functions can be restarted manually but full functionality will not be restored until Eco is deactivated.
Selecting ECO mode
When the engine is switched off, ECO mode is deactivated and must be reactivated each time the engine is started. ECO will appear in the instrument panel when the function is activated.
Via Function view
Tap the button in the center display's Function view. An indicator light in the button shows that the function is activated.
With the drive mode control*
ECO gauge in the instrument panel
The ECO gauge in the instrument panel helps improve driving economy.
- A low reading in the green area indicates economical driving.
- A higher reading indicates higher fuel consumption.
The ECO gauge also has an indicator showing how a "reference" driver would drive in the same situation. This is indicated by a diamond in the gauge.
Eco climate
In the Eco drive mode, eco climate is automatically activated in the passenger compartment to help minimize energy consumption.
To restart the climate system functions that may have been reduced, press the AUTO or defroster buttons.
In order to return to full functionality for all of the systems that may have been reduced to help improve economical driving, select another drive mode or adapt the climate system functions using the Individual mode to full functionality.
