Eco Mode??

Not sure this is the right area but wondering if there is a setting that allows you to not have the HVAC system in Eco when the Drive Mode is Eco. I use Eco around town for fuel efficiency (somewhat) but don't want the heating and fan speeds hindered by that.

Yes, you can turn off 'eco' HVAC mode in the third screen down (below front and back) in the climate menus.

You can do that, but in my testing it defaults back on the next time you get back in the vehicle and drive. I had also turned it off while parked, switched to Normal drive mode, then back to Eco mode and it switch that HVAC setting back on. So not sure that can be permanently set to off.

That's interesting. I use Eco driving mode 90% of the time, have set my climate to non-eco mode and it has stayed there through the entirety of the cold spell we have had.

What trim do you have, I’m in a 1958. Maybe that’s the difference.

LC trim...

Update: Now that I understand Utah Cruiser’s comment after sitting in the vehicle, problem solved, thanks All!

Well, after a few days, I have noted that you can turn off the Eco Climate mode in the Climate settings but it does reset upon start up so that Eco is on and the wiper warmers are off. Perhaps that's just part of the Eco Drive mode but would be nice to have them stay as set.

That's very strange and I think it must be a 1958 thing? I drive in eco almost exclusively and my HVAC stays out of eco when I turn it off during the winter and summer months.

Mine is a First Edition, not a 1958.
