How a comfortable in-car environment is determined
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.
In ECON OFF Mode, the climate control unit calculates the upper and lower limits for a comfortable in-car temperature, keeping the A/C stable to avoid abrupt changes. Auto idle stop is disabled when the upper or lower limits are exceeded. In ECON ON Mode, the priority is not the in-car environment; it is in keeping auto idle stop enable as long as possible.
