Limitation of the ECO mode oper-
ation:
If the following conditions occur while
the ECO mode is operating, the sys-
tem 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

formance.

will illuminate.

remain raised over a certain
length of time even after releas-
ing the accelerator
