Enabling HVAC ON/OFF switch

The ECON button is your air conditioning compressor ON/OFF button. In economy mode the aircon doesn't run.

Hmm are you sure, in my other cars econ is just a cut down A/C mode, but still A/C. There is always and A/C on/off button as well.

Yes! I know what you're referring to, but VW's / Skoda's the econ button could just as easily be labelled AC On/Off. Except in this case the Econ button lights up when the aircon is off.

This man speaks truth.

The 06 is a non-climate control model, no? Very different O/S to the RS model.
This is the same unit as in a Sportline or above (GTI, R32, GT) minus a couple of controls. The econ button turns the compressor off.

Well thats good, I hardly ever use economy in my 6, but I do quite often turn off the A/C in winter so it still keeps the heat going.

I get the dual climate control reverting back to auto everytime its turned off as well.....but it doesn't annoy me, most of the time its just me anyway.
