ECO

[Slim]

On my 2015 Limited I could get into ECO rather easily. I averaged around 17-17.5 MPG overall. On my new ride I find it hard to get into ECO mode even if I take my foot off the gas and I am coasting. Anyone else experience this? I am hoping with the E-Torque I can get up into the 19-19.5MPG range but if I can't get the cylinders to shut off when coasting or very light gas pedal pressure I can't see how it will happen. 100+miles of driving so far at 14.6 MPG

Any thoughts?

Stupid question...you did turn the light on in Uconnect, correct?


I'm getting ECO somewhat regurarly when coasting...course I'm still only getting around 16.5-17mpg but I expected that with the 3.92s and some stop and go

Yes the green light will come on in the dash cluster. It is just hard to get it to activate. I am 3.21

It could be my imagination but I seem to be seeing it more than I did when I first got the truck...maybe as the transmission starts to learn. I'm also usually pretty light on the throttle and early to let off when I see a red light, etc.

Hope that is the case. Just noticed it today and I kept playing with the throttle to get it to activate. It would turn on when I wasn't expecting it and not turn on when I was trying! LOL.......I'll keep playing with it. Very early. Great truck. I took it for a couple rides to nowhere today just for fun

Others have noticed similar findings. Once the light has been activated. I think it is just a matter of being patient and allow the drivetrain to learn as it gets broke in. Maybe another 1500 to 2000 miles.

Mine didn't start going into eco until I reached 1000 miles. Engine break-in likely. Now it comes on frequently. I've got about 3800 miles on it now.

Thanks for the heads up!

Weird...mine comes on all the time (3.92 gears, 250 miles).

Very commen to take time for the computer to learn your style. My eco light is coming on more often as the truck breaks in, as others have reported.

Mine with the 3.21 is picky at times for the eco, but with now 4k miles on it, the eco will turn on within a few minutes of crankup.
I don't notice much gas saving on the hwy with eco, and usually I just end up turning it off.

It’s little things like this that I’ve learned here on these forums that will help me know what to expect! Thanks for the topic op!

Same here.

Mileage going up from 14.8 to 15.8.
3.92s and E Torque here as well. 450 Miles so far.

Is there a way to turn on eco mode?

Force it on? It comes on by default. The ECO light is programmable in UConnect, as others have stated above.
