People with automatics will know the ECT-s switch. So, what are people's view on this.
Basically, all I know is when i switch it on. My car seems to pull harder and probably drink a heap lot more fuel too. SO, do you guys just leave it on while driving or only when it is "needed". Anyone done a test on how much difference in fuel consumption between switching it on and off? |

ECT-S is the electronically controlled transmission option to switch between higher RPM shift points (better acceleration, higher gas consumption) and lower ones (more economical).
Overdrive is more or less a virtual top gear, meant for cruising, to save gas by lowering RPMs. It only comes on when you reach a high enough operating temperature and are not accelerating rapidly -- in short, cruising, around 65 km/h, though it will stay on if you lightly let up on the gas down to around 55 km/h. BTW, I thought the 202 came with a 3SGE? |
