aliasusdxb Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 this is what i got from researh online and some practical testing when i bough it new basically this is what the. As the transmission of the Optima is entirely electronic and the engine itself is entirely computer controlled turning the ECO mode on cause a few changes: - Shift pattern: the power is conserved and it usually drive the car on higher gear to save fuel - Acceleration: Unless you stomp the Accelerator the car will feed as little gas for as slow and steady start as possible - Auxiliary Components: components that bleed power from the engine are given a back seat, noticeably the A/C, so that most of the energy is spent on keeping the car in motion and not on feeding the other bits. Try it if your A/C is not cooling some time try turning the ECO button off i got this from the service center when i told him that my A/C doesent cool that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
