What does the Sportage's Eco-mode do?

I noticed a button labeled 'Eco-mode' in my Kia Sportage. What does it do and should I use it?

The Eco-mode is a feature that adjusts the car's engine and transmission settings for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. It is recommended to use it when driving in urban or stop-and-go traffic.

Eco-mode can also be useful for highway driving as it can help maintain a consistent speed and save fuel. However, if you want a more powerful driving experience, you may choose to turn it off.

I personally recommend using Eco-mode whenever possible as it not only saves fuel but also reduces your carbon footprint. Plus, you can always turn it off if you need a quicker acceleration.
