How to Use the ECON Mode in Car Air Conditioning?
2 Answers
The ECON mode in car air conditioning is actually a specific setting of the air conditioning system. Typically, car air conditioning systems have an A/C indicator to show whether the air conditioning is turned on or off. The ECON mode only takes effect when the air conditioning is set to cool, representing the economic mode of the air conditioning. Below is more information about the ECO mode: 1. Introduction: ECO stands for Energy Conservation Mode, also known as the Economy Mode. 2. Function: The ECO mode is primarily a fuel-saving setting; activating it can help save energy. 3. Classification: The ECO mode generally includes two types: active ECO driving mode and passive ECO driving mode.
Using the ECON mode is simple. Just press the button, and the air conditioning compressor will operate at reduced power. When the car is hot in summer, pressing ECON keeps the AC cool while saving some fuel. I always turn on this mode when driving for more than 30 minutes, especially in traffic jams, as it noticeably saves fuel. Remember, to turn off the A/C compressor, simply press the A/C button, but in ECON mode, the compressor doesn't stop completely—it just works more gently. Setting the temperature knob to around 24 degrees is most comfortable. Turn off ECON on highways for faster cooling. If the rear window fogs up, remember to use the defogging function, which is unrelated to ECON.
