ECO Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Nissan Leaf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the driver selects ECO mode by operating the shift lever (without steering switch models) or the ECO mode switch (with steering switch models), VCM controls to a gentle acceleration (compared to normal mode) and reduces electricity consumption by reducing waste in acceleration and deceleration. In addition, VCM transmits an ECO mode request signal to the A/C auto amp. and reduces the electricity consumption of A/C compressor by turning down the air conditioner.

VCM transmits an ECO mode indication request signal to the combination meter via CAN communication to turn ON the ECO mode indicator lamp.
