u can't
What does EC for a car mean?
EC for a car stands for ECONOMY, which means that the Air Conditioning system is turned OFF.
When did air conditioning start?
1939 Packard Motor Car Company markets an automobile with air conditioning offered as an option for $274. The refrigeration compressor runs off the engine, and the system has no thermostat. It discharges the cooled air from the back of the car.
Does running the AC in a car affect the battery when not moving?
For most cars the air conditioning is powered by a belt from the engine and even if the car is only idling it will be running without any meaningful effect on the car's battery. For some hybrid drive cars the air conditioning is powered electrically, so that it can work even with the engine off. These will drain the car's battery some, but the air conditioning controller will automatically turn off the air conditioning before this becomes a problem then turn it back on as soon as the engine is automatically restarted when it is again needed to drive the car.
How do you stop air conditioning turning on automatically when you start the car?
