Active ECO System
REMINDER: When Active ECO is activated and the Power button is cycled, the Active ECO system remains ON
Soul EV is equipped with an ECO feature that improves energy
efficiency and helps extend battery life The Active 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
Active ECO System ON results in reduced torque, higher energy
efficiency, and enhanced regenerative braking
Active ECO System OFF results in more torque, lower energy
efficiency, and reduced regenerative braking
The Active ECO System is activated by pressing the ACTIVE ECO
button A (LED illuminated) and can be deactivated by pressing the
button again (LED not illuminated) 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
