WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The climate control unit calculates a maximum time for auto idle stop. This time depends on whether ECON ON or ECON OFF is selected.
- ECON ON: In this mode, the climate control unit prioritizes fuel consumption and calculates the longest time possible before the windshield may fog. The engine restarts when the time expires.
- ECON OFF: In this mode, the climate control unit prioritizes passenger comfort and calculates the time before the in-vehicle temperature would become uncomfortable. The engine restarts when the time expires. This time is typically shorter than when ECON ON is selected.
