NOTICE
Fuel efficiency depends on the
driver's driving habit and road condi-
tion.
When ECO mode is activated:
The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced as the accelera-
tor pedal is depressed moder-
ately.
The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
The shift pattern of the auto-
matic transmission may change.
The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is acti-

Limitation of ECO mode operation:
If the following conditions occur
whilst ECO mode is operating, the
system operation is limited even
though there is no change in ECO
indicator.
When the coolant temperature is

The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes
normal.
When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
When the accelerator pedal is
deeply depressed for a few sec-
