BearFaceOfDoom Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Okay so what's the difference between ECON and the usual Air con button what's right next to it? They both seem to do the same thing! lolIf this has already been discussed before then I apologise in advance. I tried searching for it but couldnt find anything Quote

ToyotaTech15 Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 To explain the Economy mode a little more, the a/c compressor on the engine has a two stage control system. Usually the compressor runs at full capacity until the evaporators frost limit temperature is reached. As a result, if the heat load is low cooling will be excessive and a lot of power will be taken away from the engine. The economy system lowers the compressors utilization rate, when the a/c switch is set to ECON, the compressor is turned off when the evaporator fin temperature reaches 10 degrees C rather than the normal 3 degrees C. Thus saving the power that the compressor would normally use to reach the lower temperatureHope tthis helpsGary Quote
BearFaceOfDoom Posted August 26, 2010 Author Posted August 26, 2010 I can't rip my air con out!
