Driving your vehicle

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 the normal mode.

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 pressed for a few seconds:

The system will be limited, judging

that the driver wants to speed up.
