Econ Button

[m4rk scotland]

its beside the air com buttom, just wondered what it was? is it just basicly economy air con?

[JappyBeast]

Yep, its aircon but uses less fuel.

[m4rk scotland]

is there really much of a point to it?? i mean surly fully cold air is good enough if aircon is too much?

[jaxx]

aircon, the pump is on constant

econ, the pump is only on when the climate system needs it to help cool the interior

ha i was wondering what that was i have it on my rev1 turbo. thats silly why have air con and that, why not just have that? was it on uk n/a aswell then?

[DeusMR2]

uk cars had aircon as an option but it was so damn expensive that almost noone took it!

And although UK cars had aircon, I'm 99% certain that they haver had the climate option, as the loom was not prewired for the dash and under-dash temperature sensors.

UK was and add-on option and not factory installed.

Having bought one new MR2 in the UK, my next ones came from Japan as the options available in the nineties were almost endless - ie satnav, parking sensors, phone kit and so on.
