What does the economy button do in the 91 laser?

Hi just wondering if anyone could please explain to me the function of the economy button next to the air conditioning button in the kf laser?
I notice that with the air con on the engine's power seems really low and drained but turning the economy button on at the same time seems to help.

Can someone explain this?

The Econ button puts the air conditioner into economy mode. It's on of course, but the compressor is on for less time which saves petrol and cash. It's the option for the days when you need some cool air, but it's not stinking Summer hot!

as stated above
or
on some systems if working properly
you start with the air con button on
then when you feel the system is cold enough
you switch over to economy and this sets
the temp for the compressor clutch to operate on and off - for economy

instead of running the compressor full on all the time

if the air inside the car becomes hot again you switch to a/c and so on
