Bevdiff Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hello, I bought a titanium 1.0 ecoboost a couple of weeks ago and I'd really appreciate a little help. The centre console has a button at the bottom marked Eco - I'm assuming this is a petrol saving mode but I can't find a thing about it in the manual or online My other question is around the cabin ambient lighting which only seems to come on when I get out of the car an di can't seem to find the controls or work it out. Obviously I'm just missing something straightforward but any pointers would be appreciated, Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Ambient lighting can be switched on or off in the vehicle settings menu. Not sure if the titanium has all the ambient lighting, above glovebox, cup holders, door bins and above the rear view mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 As Mark says the Titanium has all the ambient lights but my be switched off. As for the eco button do you have a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Can you post a pic of the eco button? Edit : As willy says :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm sure there's no eco mode / button in the titanium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacked Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Is it not the Start - Stop system override switch ? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winemart2 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Ahhhhh yes, the button I press EVERY time I start the engine :D Otherwise, I don't see an eco button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David73 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The centre console has a button at the bottom marked Eco - I'm assuming this is a petrol saving mode but I can't find a thing about it in the manual or online Is your car an automatic? If so, the usual characteristic is to make the shifting less responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It is the button to turn off the start / stop system. I use it in heavy traffic etc. The start / stop system reactivates every time you start the car so you have to turn it off each time if required.

alexp999 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Stop start doesn't have Eco written on it though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 They may have changed the name of the button but its the only button on the Titanium in that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 This button from the manual? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Look like it Alex. What model is that in mate? I've never seen that, not that I'd use it ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It is in the latest Fiesta manual on the Ford website. Perhaps a new addition for 2016MY, don't know if it is only for autos or manual too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevdiff Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 That is exactly it @Alexp999 - there is absolutely no mention of it in my manual! I felt that the engine performance was different but wasn't sure if I was imagining it. My fiesta is a manual btw. Thanks all very much for your help!

alexp999 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Interesting to know it is on manual cars too. Must be new for the 2016MY and the printed manuals haven't caught up yet. They should call it the killjoy button, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I stand corrected! :) Interesting addition..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjay1 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 a welcome addition to the fiesta. power when you want it economy for when you dont. where abouts is the button as it not listed on the vehicle overview page. i'm assuming it is between the start / stop button and the parking sensor button.

Mickr Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The buttons next to the Auto Start/Stop button under the heating controls and above the heated seat button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickr Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I think the button increases the revs at which the turbo kicks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niek_V Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 The button is supposed to switch between normal mode and increased MPG. "Ford EcoSelectAvailable on 1.0 EcoBoost 125PS engines, amends engine calibration (Reduced peak power and torque) to optimise fuel economy at the push of a button. Ford maximum torque and throttle response, simply switch back to standard mode." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
