A dashboard is located at the top of the Mower's handle. It provides a single point to set the three moving modes. Pressing the mode button cycles through each of the modes.

Mode	What it can do
ECO Mode	ECO mode locks the blade in low speed to provide the best runtime, but does reduce cutting performance.
SMART Mode	In SMART mode, the mower automatically controls the blade speed and power to give the best balance of power and runtime to suit your lawn's conditions.
POWER Mode	POWER mode locks the blade into high speed - which gives the best cutting performance but reduces runtime.
