OK 

See step  3

1. Operate the ECO switch (satellite switch set) and check that the ECO mode indicator turns off and the blower speed reduction is canceled.

   HINT: 

   • When ECO mode control is operating, the air conditioning amplifier assembly controls the air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency. Therefore, explain to the customer that, when ECO mode control is operating, the blower speed will be reduced.

     Control	Outline
     Blower Control	When the air conditioning system is in AUTO mode, the blower speed will be reduced to a certain speed. Additionally, if warm-up control is operating, the blower speed will be further reduced.
     Air Inlet Control	If the ambient temperature is a certain value or more, the air inlet mode will be changed to recirculation mode.

   • In some situations, ECO mode control may not operate even though it is enabled.

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   ECO mode indicator turns off and blower speed reduction is canceled	A
   ECO mode indicator turns off, but the blower speed reduction is not canceled	B
   ECO mode indicator does not turn off

Result:
