Econ Mode; Vehicle Stability Assist (Vsa) System - Honda Insight 2020 Owner's Manual

DRIVING
Press the brake pedal firmly for more powerful braking. When brake assist
operates, the pedal may wiggle slightly and an operating noise may be
heard. This is normal. Keep holding the brake pedal firmly down.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
n
During hard or emergency braking, the system rapidly pumps the brakes to
prevent wheel lockup and help you maintain steering control. You should
never pump the brake pedal. Let the ABS work for you by always keeping
firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal.
The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS,
also balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle
loading.
When ABS activates, you may notice vibrations through the brake pedal or
the vehicle body, the brake pedal depressing further than usual, or hear a
motor noise from the engine compartment. These are all normal.
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and
size.

ECON Mode

The ECON button turns the ECON mode on and off. The ECON mode helps you
improve your fuel economy by adjusting the performance of the climate control
system and the accelerator pedal response.
