OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE FUEL ECONOMY (ECON) MODE • The Fuel Economy (ECON) mode can improve the vehicle's overall fuel economy during normal driving conditions. • Press the "econ" switch in the center stack of the instrument panel and a green light will indicate the ECON mode is engaged. • When the Fuel Economy (ECON) Mode is engaged, the vehicle control systems will be able to change the following: • The transmission will upshift sooner and downshift later. • The transmission will skip select gears during shifts to allow the engine to operate at lower speeds. • The torque converter clutch will engage sooner (lower engine rpm's) and remain on longer. • The engine idle speed will be lower. • The overall driving performance will be more conservative. MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS Air Recirculation • Use recirculation for maximum A/C operation. • For window defogging, turn the recirculation button off. • Recirculation is not allowed in defrost, floor, defrost/floor (mix) modes. 24
