On page 481 of the downloaded manual it mentions Blower customisation.
Each time Fast ECO control is pressed it changes the setting:- Normal - ECO - Fast
What does each of these settings due?
Many thanks

It changes the fan speed, according to the setting you have selected

 

[Bsquared]

OK, understand that but what does ECO actually achieve?
Should this be preferred setting?
Sorry but no explanation in manual
Thanks again

Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
●In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to prioritize
fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/
cooling capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
●To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
• Adjust the fan speed
• Adjust the temperature setting
• Turn off Eco drive mode
●Even when the drive mode is set to Eco drive mode, the air conditioning eco
mode can be turned off by pressing the

I think it can be both in Eco and Auto at the same time. Bsquare is asking about AC Eco (not driving Eco) mode

Hmm... I will try (if I remember tomorrow) to switch AC to Fast mode while in Eco driving mode. Wonder what will happen I don't think driving mode makes any difference

I alway,s drive in normal mode and the airco on automatic. If I think about it I try it to tomorrow.

I have tried and swiched from normal to eco drive mode the airco automaticly switched to eco mode to. When I switched back to normal drive mode the eco mode from the airco switched off.

 

[Karmalakas]

Oh.. I forgot But I'm pretty sure I was driving in Normal mode and could switch to any AC mode. I think the same is in Eco drive mode - you should also be able to switch between AC modes

My airco was on automatic and I switched from drive mode normal to eco and the airco switched to eco to.
Manual you can switch to any mode you want.
