Economy Mode or Function Operation Indicators

Economy Mode

Economy Mode IndicatorECO mode indicator 2Eco pro indicatorThese are Economy Mode (ECO/ECON) or Function Operation Indicator symbols. Auto makers incorporate any number of automated operation adjustments to make a vehicle more green, meaning fuel efficient, at the touch of a button. ECO mode may reduce the setting of the air conditioner or the amount of torque delivered to the drive system. A fuel-use meter may also be visible on the instrument panel of vehicles with an ECO mode option.

  • But first, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, continue on below.

The ECO PRO mode is found in one manufacturer’s hybrid vehicles. It can be configured with speed limitations and climate control output. Operation with the high voltage battery alone is also maximized.

Note that a pictorial ECO symbol also exists, which only shows that a vehicle is being operated economically, and not in a chosen mode. See it here.

More often than not ECO Mode involves reducing the use of or simply turning off the air conditioning system, which is quite power hungry.
