Driving your vehicle
When the ECO mode is activated:
Limitation of the ECO mode oper-
ation:
SPORT mode
•
The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced as the accelerator If the following conditions occur while
pedal is depressed moderately.
SPORT mode manages
the driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting the
steering wheel, engine
and transaxle system to
optimize performance.
the ECO mode is operating, fuel effi-
ciency may decrease even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
•
•
•
The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic
transaxle may change.
•
When the coolant temperature is
low:
• When the SPORT mode is select-
ed by pressing the DRIVE MODE
button, the SPORT indicator (yel-
low color) will illuminate.
The engine noise may get louder.
Fuel efficiency may decrease until
engine temperature reaches nor-
mal.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the ECO mode is
activated to improve fuel efficiency.
•
Restarting of the engine in the
SPORT mode resets the DRIVE
mode to the NORMAL mode.Thus,
when necessary, reselect the
SPORT mode.
•
When driving up a hill:
Fuel efficiency may decrease to
gain performance when driving
uphill because engine torque is
restricted.
• When the SPORT mode is activat-
ed:
- The RPM (revolutions per min-
utes) level is maintained over a
certain length of time, even after
releasing the accelerator pedal.
•
•
When
using
the
automatic
transaxle manual shift mode:
Fuel efficiency may decrease
according to the shift location.
When the accelerator pedal is
deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
-
When accelerating, up-shifting
timing is delayed.
Fuel efficiency may decrease,
judging that the driver wants to
speed up.
✽
NOTICE
In the SPORT mode, the fuel effi-
ciency may decrease.
