That hidden "eco" button?
Funny, this morning I just happened to notice a button on the lower left side of the dash that said ECO driving, or something like that.
This wasn't shown or explained to me. When I press the button, no light or signal appears telling me it's on or working or doing something. Was is it for? |
Re: That hidden "eco" button?
ECO is designed to use an "economy" version of the heating and ac. Basically it helps save gas and has been on most Toyota Carmies (and other models I am sure) for over 20 years.
When you turn it on, there is a green light that should be lit within the button and the heat/ac display should show the letters ECO in the middle-left. To maximize fuel economy, use the ECO button at all times. To get faster heating and cooling, turn off ECO. Note: If you use the defroster, ECO will ALWAYS be OFF. Mike |

The “ECO HEAT/COOL” mode is canceled in the following cases:

Oh yeah, another thing - be careful you don't open the fuel filler door when you reach for the ECO button.

Is the filler door capable of being opened when the car is in motion?

Look on the environment control display. When you press the button, it toggles "ECO" mode on that display. The effect is that heating and cooling functions are adjusted to minimize their impact on FE. Note that certain settings (like turning on front defrost, or setting temperature to MAX or MIN) will turn off ECO mode and the only way to turn it back on is to press the button again (after eliminating the setting that turned it off in the first place - if you leave defrost on, ECO can not be turned back on).

I've managed to do it
Line 1 "If car is not in park disable the filler tank open button" Line 2 "See line #1" Line 3 End program But hey, I'm not an auto engineer. It might be more difficult than that. |
