Thank you, that was great!!!!!

This unit is aircon (or as it's called ECON) but without heated seats? am I correct. Head seats have the roller switches next to the number dispalys?

That's dual zone climate control.  And you're right with the heated seats - there should be a driver and passenger roller switch with 5 settings next to the temperature displays.

:grin:
ECON is short for economy! If you press it, you won't be getting cold air any more. It turns off the compressor or pump for the air-con to save fuel. On newer models, the ECON button was replaced by an A/C button (air-con) to remove confusion  :happy2:
