Should ECON Be Turned On for Winter Heating?

[MaximusMarie]

Winter heating does not require turning on ECON. ECON only takes effect when the air conditioning is set to cooling mode, as ECON represents the air conditioning's economy mode. Below is its related introduction: When to turn on ECON: It is recommended to turn on ECON during traffic jams, but not when the road is clear. ECON is controlled by the vehicle's onboard computer. When this function is selected, the onboard computer controls fuel injection volume, transmission shift timing, etc., based on pre-programmed data. When to turn off ECON: When the vehicle speed is very high (reaching 100KM/h), the vehicle requires better dynamic performance during high-speed driving. At this time, the acceleration effect of ECO is not good, requiring a deeper press on the accelerator, but the fuel-saving effect is not obvious. Moreover, even if ECO is turned on, the onboard computer will prioritize speed, and the ECON mode automatically becomes ineffective. When high torque output is needed, such as when climbing a slope, the engine computer will prioritize ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECON mode will not work either.
