when you say window button, i'm assuming you mean to vent the air to the windscreen? Or do you mean the electric window?

Ye sorry it's the one with the arrow pointing towards the Roof of the car. To turn it off simply press econ again.

What 'useful' information can it give you? Pressures/temps/power etc

Tbh I'm not to sure there's heaps of things it prob tells u lol, all I know is what I was told that when I put it on 19.3 it shows you your rev wow lol,

Forgot to say once you have got on the menu the left climate controll dial turns it's fro
 0-30 and the fan power dose the .1-.5's

                                             Off

Up/down arrows

Top row: to feet/to face/to windscreen

Up/down arrows

Quick clear windscreen
Rear window heat
Recirc


Any ideas?
