Default Mode question

Someone verify this.
The difference between "touring" and "Eco" modes (MT) is that in touring mode, it will not enter V4 operation. On the AT, it will.
So on the automatic trans, touring and Eco modes are the same?

I believe Eco mode is more aggressive about using V4 operation than is Tour mode.

no..Eco changes the shift points and throttle to save more gas, to be simple about it....
