Using 'Auto Econ' mode for heater, is A/C on?
Just curious, when you press the 'Auto Econ' button and set the temp to something around 80 (basically warmer than it is outside or inside), does the car actually use the A/C? The light on the A/C button is on, so thats why I ask. Or just because its on Auto, it may kick on the A/C if it has to cool the cabin down...? I have heard that its not good to run your A/C AND your heater at the same time (unless of course you need less humid heat).
Thanks for any input!

According to my 2004 manual the difference between "AUTO" and "AUTO ECON" is that in AUTO the A/C runs all the time to dry the air out irregardless of the setpoint temperature and in AUTO ECON, the A/C cycles on and off resulting in higher humidity but supposedly better mileage. Personally, I use AUTO ECON all year round.
