Mazda 2009 Tribute HEV - Manual (Page 13)

Question Answer
What is the purpose of the ECON
button? ECON mode may provide
improved fuel economy by
preventing the gasoline engine
from running for the sole purpose
of providing air conditioning. When
the engine turns off, the A/C
compressor does not operate and
warm air may come out of the
vents. In ECON mode, A/C
operates as normal when the
gasoline engine is running.
Can I tow the hybrid behind my
motor home with all four wheels
down? Yes. Your hybrid vehicle can be
“flat-towed” without modification.
See the Recreational Towing
section in the Tires, Wheels and
Loading chapter for more
information.
