Nissan Sentra B18 (2020-2025) Owner's Manual: ECO mode switch
The ECO mode in the Nissan Sentra is designed to improve fuel efficiency by optimizing throttle response and transmission shift points during normal driving conditions.
To activate ECO mode, press the ECO mode switch. When enabled, the ECO mode indicator light on the meter or vehicle information display will remain illuminated.
To deactivate ECO mode, press the ECO mode switch again. The indicator light will turn off once the mode is disabled.
The ECO mode cannot be turned off while the accelerator pedal is depressed, even if the switch is pressed. Release the accelerator pedal to deactivate the ECO mode.
If a system malfunction is detected, the ECO mode in the Nissan Sentra will automatically turn off to protect vehicle operation.
Consider turning off ECO mode or fully depressing the accelerator pedal when:
- Driving with a heavy passenger load or carrying significant cargo
- Climbing steep uphill roads or mountain slopes
- When maximum air conditioner performance is required, as ECO mode may slightly reduce A/C efficiency
NOTE:
Selecting ECO mode does not guarantee improved fuel economy in all situations, as driving habits, road conditions, and traffic patterns significantly affect fuel consumption.
Shift lever indicator (2.0L 4 cylinder (MR20DD engine model) Manual Transmission models only)
The shift lever indicator assists the driver in selecting the optimal gear change timing to enhance fuel efficiency. This feature operates only when ECO mode is activated.
The indicator displays both the shift icon and the recommended gear position.
The upshift or downshift icon guides the driver toward more economical driving in the Nissan Sentra.
NOTE:
- The shift indicator is intended as a fuel economy guide only. Always prioritize road conditions and surrounding traffic.
- If the downshift icon is not displayed, shift to the 1 (1st) gear position when necessary.
- If the downshift icon appears while decelerating, it indicates that engine speed is too low for the selected gear.
