snowmonster Report post Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Doesn't it seem strange that there's no econ A/C mode on the FFH to limit the amount of time the compressor runs and therefore same energy/gas? Edited March 15, 2014 by snowmonster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybridbear Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Good question. Back before the 2013 FFH was released in late 2012, Ford stated that their customer focus groups indicated that customers didn't like these buttons (like Toyota & Honda have) and thus they decided not to offer a "power" button or an "econ" button, but just to leave the car alone.

acdii Report post Posted March 15, 2014 I was going to post a theory on why, but the more I thought, I debunked it since not all cars have Park Assist, and only the Energi has the fuel door release, so debunked a button just for Hybrids to have an Eco button.

airbusguy Report post Posted March 16, 2014 It's a variable speed/load compressor. On initial startup on a hot day I've seen as much as 3kw draw. After cabin cooldown, drops to about .3kw. The other eco switch is the temp setting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KLH Report post Posted March 18, 2014 It could be that the FFH has only the eco-mode. 1 corncobs reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
