yes

set the climate to what you want
press the econ button
this disengages the ac part of the climate control

In summer, where does this cool air come from if the AC isn't on?

Like i said , in summer i get cool air when the 'econ' is pressed as well...The manual only says the compressor kicks in when 'cool' air is needed, it also says
press economy to MARGINALLY IMPROVE fuel economy.

I have done the master reset on the panel as well.

I run it with the econ on and i can HEAR the compressor running all the time, ..hissing noise.

I want HEAT without any aircon enabled at all!

Why should this be so difficult!




does any one else have any difinitive info on this for the NA Fairlane?



I might be wrong and you can call me an idiot , but i am NOT convinced the Air con isnt running in Economy mode with temp set on 32

Why on other models does it say to turn on 'FRESH' as well and other commands i have forgotton for now.
