Climate Control

Hi all,

Can someone tell me what ECON does?

My car is a import from japan so can't understand the owners book.

If I have the climate on Auto with A.C on whats happens then I press ECON?

Thanks.

On my old Subaru Liberty & Forester ECON would cut out the compressor if any medium- heavy throttle application was applied so putting less load on the engine

Also would put the system in recirculate so it would ease the load on the aircon

It restores balance to the global economy. Please leave it on.

I heard every time you press it Nissan plants a new tree.

And in that tree will grow an R35 GTR.

Ok I will leave it on then!

Would still be nice to know what it does. 

Thanks.

Easy just to try it yourself. A/C compressor will be used less.

I think it allows the compressor to diseneage when the cabin temp is low or at the set temp, but outside temp is high, rather than just pulling the heater in.

I have the G35 manual somewhere, i will check when I can.

This is what the G35 manual says -

Economical operation (ECON)
Economical operation reduces some load
to the engine to improve the fuel economy.
It allows higher humidity than normal operation.
Pushing the AUTO/ECON button changes
operations as follows while the A/C button
indicator is on. AUTO!ECON!AUTO

That's for the info.

My past cars the ECON turned the A.C off.

Cheers.
