FUEL ECONOMY (ECON) MODE

The Fuel Economy (ECON) mode can improve the vehicle’s overall fuel economy during
normal driving conditions.
• Press the ECON switch in the center

stack of the instrument panel and a

green light will indicate the ECON mode

is engaged.

When the ECON Mode is engaged, the ve-
hicle control systems will be able to change
the following:
• The transmission will upshift sooner and

downshift later.

• The transmission will skip select gears

during shifts to allow the engine to oper-
ate at lower speeds.

• The torque converter clutch may engage

sooner (lower engine rpm’s) and remain
on longer.

• The engine idle speed will be lower.
• The overall driving performance will be more conservative.
