I recently bought a Vauxhall Mokka and I noticed that there is an 'eco' mode button on the dashboard. What does this mode do and when should I use it?
ReplyThe 'eco' mode in the Vauxhall Mokka is designed to improve fuel efficiency by adjusting the engine's performance. It does this by optimizing the gear shifting and acceleration, as well as reducing the power of the air conditioning and other electronic systems. You should use this mode when you want to save fuel and reduce your carbon footprint.
Using the 'eco' mode can also make your driving experience smoother and more comfortable, as it reduces engine noise and vibrations. However, it may affect your car's performance and acceleration. As such, it is recommended to use this mode for city driving or long journeys where fuel efficiency is important.
Some drivers may find that the 'eco' mode makes the car feel underpowered, especially when driving uphill or overtaking. In these situations, it is best to switch to the normal mode for better performance. It is also important to note that the 'eco' mode may not be effective in extreme weather conditions, such as extreme heat or cold.
