Message	Alot of Zers dont know that when they blast the heater on with it at 90 degree set temp and u hit "auto" button, it turns on the AC along with it, but however if u hit "econ" along with the auto button it turns the AC off and it just uses the heater core function, dont ask why the AC kicks on when u have the heater on i have no clue.
