On my old Subaru Liberty & Forester ECON would cut out the compressor if any medium- heavy throttle application was applied so putting less load on the engine

Also would put the system in recirculate so it would ease the load on the aircon

I think it allows the compressor to diseneage when the cabin temp is low or at the set temp, but outside temp is high, rather than just pulling the heater in.

I have the G35 manual somewhere, i will check when I can.

This is what the G35 manual says -

Economical operation (ECON)
Economical operation reduces some load
to the engine to improve the fuel economy.
It allows higher humidity than normal operation.
Pushing the AUTO/ECON button changes
operations as follows while the A/C button
indicator is on. AUTO!ECON!AUTO

That's for the info.

My past cars the ECON turned the A.C off.

Cheers.
