When is it best to use the econ button
How the Econ button works on a new Honda. How it really works!!
hi this is Billy from Leesburg Honda
again today we're going to be going over
the econ button a lot of customers ask
me what the econ button is and a lot of
people they misinformed as far as what
it is we're going to take a little more
time and go over it but you know what it
actually does for the car
okay so I've drawn some diagrams here
today to give you a little visual on how
the econ system works a lot of people
think that it does all kinds of things
and sales people tell them everything
under the Sun and it cuts off cylinders
it does it makes the car run on leaner
things like that what the car does when
you have it on the econ button it
changes your throttle response your
cruise control your air conditioning and
also the transmission now the track the
throttle response what it does is it
changes not at the beginning of your
throttle response or not at the end so
not at your taking off or not your full
throttle it changes the middle of your
throttle response so when you're
cruising down the interstate things like
that you're going to a little bit softer
pedal but you're going to get get better
gas much cruise control it changes your
cruise control how does it do that
it changed it doesn't allow the car to
kick down as quickly so when you're
going up hills a lot of times the car
will slow down because it doesn't want
to kick down and waste the gas so if you
cut the key count system off your air
your cruise control of will act more
normal air conditioning how does it
affect the air conditioning what it does
is it changes it makes the compressor
click off and on more often so by doing
that it saves fuel but on the other hand
on an extremely hot day you get a 95
degree high humidity day air conditioner
is not going to work as efficiently so
what's going to what's going to happen
is it's going to stay it's not going to
get cool in the car so what you do is
you cut the econ button off for a few
for a few minutes out the car cool off
get to a good temperature inside the car
then you can always reengage the econ
button transmission it affects the shift
points of the transmitter
so by doing that it can optimize your
fuel economy I hope this helps you if
you have any questions feel free to drop
me a comment or an email thank you
