Conditions In ECON Mode
- Cruise control: To decrease fuel use when cruise control is on in ECON mode, the cruise acceleration and cruise speed responses are milder than normal. When the vehicle speed is reduced by extra load conditions, cruise control assumes its normal response to maintain vehicle speed.
- IMA (Integrated Motor Assist): In ECON mode, the conditions for auto idle stop are expanded, regenerative braking during deceleration is increased, and power to the IPU (intelligent power unit) fan is increased.
- Air conditioning: To decrease fuel use in ECON mode, the A/C switches to recirculation mode and the compressor operates less frequently.
