Engine

Depending on the profile selected, the engine

responds more spontaneously or more in har-

mony with the movements of the accelerator.

Additionally, when Ecomode is selected, the

Start-stop function is automatically activa-

ted.

Address

Power steering becomes more robust in

Sportmode to enable a sportier driving style.

In the Leon Cupra the power steering be-

comes more robust in Cupramode.

In vehicles with automatic transmission, the

gear change points are modified to position

them in lower or higher engine speed ranges.

Additionally, the Eco¹⁾mode activates the In-

ertia function, enabling consumption to be

further reduced.

In manual gearbox vehicles, Eco¹⁾mode cau-

ses the gear change recommendation indi-

cations that appear on the instrument panel

to vary, facilitating more efficient driving.

Air conditioning

In vehicles with Climatronic, this can operate

in eco¹⁾mode, especially restricting fuel con-

sumption.
