eli5: how does the function of a car change when put into “econ” mode?

286 views

Im not quite sure if I worded this properly but basically I’m asking what changes in the car when we put it in econ mode? Like how is it that I waste less gas in econ mode when driving at the same speed as if I wasnt? Or how does the air conditioner work more efficiently?

A gasoline engine is more powerful at high RPMs, but more fuel-efficient at lower RPMs.

So, typically, eco mode is all about making your transmission upshift later and downshift sooner.
