We all know the morning commute or school run is one of the most stressful times of the day. Gridlock traffic, that lingering fear of being late and stressful road conditions all contribute to a negative state of mind.
You might see your car as the enemy, but did you know that it has lots of calming and tranquil features that you might not have known about?
Massaging seats help reduce muscle tension and make you more relaxed and alert while driving, clearing your mind. Sometimes, you can be distracted by that knot in your neck or that twinge in your back. A relaxed driver is a safe driver. Safe drivers take less risks, making everyone on the road safer.
Everyone loves a smooth ride, no sudden movements, uncomfortable jerks, harsh braking, all contributes to a dense and unnavigable mind. Eco Driving Modes change the way your car behaves, for the better. Braking, Acceleration, Steering and in some cases, Suspension become softer.
Since eco mode promotes lower engine revs, it leads to a quieter cabin, making the driver and passengers much more comfortable.. The more gradual driving style encouraged by eco mode can be less mentally and physically draining, reducing driver fatigue, especially on long trips.
The traditional use of eco modes is to reduce energy/fuel consumption, if your car can get further on a single charge or tank, this reduces range anxiety
