ACTIVE ECO SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

Active ECO operation

Active ECO helps improve fuel efficiency
by controlling the engine, transaxle and
air conditioner. But fuel-efficiency can be
changed by the driver's driving habits
and road conditions.
• 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
does not turn off even though the
engine is restarted again. To turn off
the system, press the active ECO but-
ton again.
• If Active ECO is turned off, it will return
to the ECO mode.

When Active ECO is activated:

• Vehicle noise may become loud.
• Vehicle speed may drop.
• The air conditioner performance may
decline.
CAUTION
Vehicle speed is limited to 87 mph
(140 km/h) when Active ECO is
operating. It will not go over the lim-
ited speed.
