You can switch the energy-saving mode of the air conditioning system on and off using the function key ECON. The abbreviation ECON stands for economy because using this function saves fuel. Activating this function switches off the compressor, which is responsible for temperature control of the air in the vehicle interior. The vehicle is then cooled using outside air only.

- | Press the function key ECON to switch off the energy-saving mode of the air conditioning system. |
The coloured bar behind the lettering indicates that the function has been activated. In addition, the expression ECON appears in the display. |
To switch off the function, press the function key ECON again.
Caution!
In the ECON mode, the windows can mist up more easily because the air is not dehumidified.
Note
The temperature in the vehicle interior cannot be cooled to a temperature lower than the temperature outside because cooling is switched off in the ECON mode.
