Active ECO operation

Active ECO helps improve fuel effi-

ciency by controlling certain engine

and transaxle system operating

parameters. Fuel efficiency depends

on the driver's driving habit and road

condition.

• When the Active ECO button is

pressed the ECO indicator (green)

will illuminate to show that the

Active ECO is operating.

• When the Active ECO is activated,

it will remain on until the Active

ECO button is pressed again.

Active ECO does not turn off when

the engine is restarted. To turn off

Active ECO, press the Active ECO

button again.

• If Active ECO is turned off, the sys-

tem will return to normal mode.

When Active ECO is activated:

• The acceleration may slightly be

reduced eventhough you depress

the accelerator fully.

• The air conditioner performance

may be limited.

• The shift pattern of the automatic

transaxle may change.

• The engine noise may get louder.

The above situations are normal

conditions when the active eco sys-

tem is activated to improve fuel effi-

ciency.

Limitation of Active ECO oper-

ation:

If the following conditions occur while

Active ECO 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 the engine

torque is restricted.

• When using sports mode: The sys-

tem will be limited according to the

shift location.

• When the accelerator pedal is

deeply depressed for a few sec-

onds: The system will be limited,

judging that the driver wants to

speed up.
