• The accelerator pedal is only moderately engaged and the acceleration response may be slightly reduced.

• Air conditioning performance may be limited.

• The transmission’s shift pattern may change.

• The engine noise may get louder.

All of the above conditions are normal when ECO mode is activated.

If the following conditions occur while ECO mode is operating, the system operation is limited, even though there is no change in the ECO indicator:

• When the coolant temperature is low:

  System performance is temporarily limited until the engine reaches normal operating temperature.

• When driving uphill:

  System power may be reduced on inclines due to restricted engine torque.

• When the accelerator pedal is fully pressed for several seconds:

  System operation is limited when it detects that the driver intends rapid acceleration.
