For more information on the ECO System, refer to your Owner’s Manual or contact your local dealership.
Soul EV is equipped with an ECO feature that improves energy
efficiency and helps extend battery life
The ECO System helps
reduce energy consumption by controlling several vehicle
components
When activated, it optimizes drivetrain operations such
as engine power and transmission to help improve energy economy
E
CO System ON results in reduced torque, higher energy efficiency,
and enhanced regenerative braking
E
CO System OFF results in more torque, lower energy efficiency,
and reduced regenerative braking
T
he ECO System is enabled by default and can be disabled by
pressing the ECO OFF button
A The green ECO indicator light B in the instrument cluster will illuminate, indicating that ECO is
operating
To help reduce energy consumption:
•Drive at a moderate speed, accelerating smoothly and at a moderate rate •Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure and wheels aligned properly
