What do ECON and AUTO mean on a car?

AUTO related to cars has different meanings in different places.

For example, the Auto above the green text in the picture below means automatic air conditioning, which means that the car can automatically adjust the air conditioning temperature and air volume according to the ambient temperature at that time, without manual adjustment. There is also a red-letter-sized A, which represents the engine energy-saving start and stop, which is an energy-saving mode equipped on some vehicles. That is, when the vehicle encounters a red light ahead or needs to stop while the vehicle is driving, the driver applies the brakes. When the vehicle comes to a stop after the pedal is fully depressed, the engine will suspend operation. At this time, the engine is in a resting state. In this case, it can save fuel consumption every time the vehicle is turned on when waiting for a red light or temporarily parking.

Some cars also have the word auto on the glass or door panels. In fact, this refers to an automatic car, because auto also means car and automatic in English.
