FAQ
What does Eco Mode actually do?
It changes the way the Corolla accelerates, making it transition more slow and smooth. It also reduces operation of the heating and air conditioning system. So it may take longer to cool or heat the cab when Eco Mode is enabled. The result is saving on fuel consumption.
I have Eco Mode enabled, but why doesn’t the Eco light show on the instrument panel?
The Eco Driving Indicator will not illuminate during these conditions:
- The transmission is in a gear other than “D/Drive”.
- Driving Mode is set to “Sport Mode”.
- The vehicle is traveling at a speed above 79 miles-per-hour.
- A paddle shift switch is operated.
What if the button is missing on the car but it’s in eco mode
In 2014 model corolla its not working eco system in dash board . I cant find the switch in the dash board .it is a on/off method in meter display but its not working .what is problem .any one know pls help me.
I just found by accident how to enable and disable eco while trying to reset the maintenance required light lol. You just have to press and hold the disp button on the steering wheel for a few seconds then it’ll display eco on. Press the disp button to change between on and off. To select just press and hold again and it’ll disappear
I tried its not working for me. Mine is 2016 model
I thought the same at first. The way to know is if you accelerate fast it’ll disappear and then reappear when idling or using low rpm.
Also, hold the it again to turn it back on
Thank you!
Perfect! This works
I have a 2017 Toyota Corolla LE but the ECO mode button seems to have been tampered with, probably during a repair job. How do I get it reactivated? The button seems to have been sealed so it can’t be depressed.
I have 2012 toyota fielder and I can’t turn off the eco I depress the nob in the dash and hold it on the mileage then turn car on,it only flashes and stops
I am very glad I saw this article! I also, JUST recently had repairs done to my 2016 Toyota Corolla Le & I didn’t have a fuel cap but purchased one the day I got my car back. My “ECO” mode was STILL NOT working & with the exhorbitant price of gas these days, I was very 😡… I also had my “CHECK ENGINE” light on & it would NOT go off. I just needed to press the “DISP” button on my steering wheel & hold it down for several seconds. Thank you guys SO much for letting me know THIS!! 👍
Hello,
I drive Toyota fielda and it looses power especially when on Hill and l attempt to break and accelerate after whenever in jam l feel its power tends to pick up from low gear.
Kindly advise if the ECO activation could be the reason leading to this or otherwise
