Default Cockpit Ventilation

Can't believe I'm asking this, but I've never been certain about allowing fresh air into my passenger compartment throught the A/C control unit.
If all I want is fresh air, no compressor or cold air, how do I do it? I know the ECON button supposedly switches the compressor off, but I still have display panel lights, so I'm not sure.

I can't remember the last time I had my AC compressor on, I'm always in econ mode. I can't be wasting gas like that, that **** is expensive!

We feel the same about the gas costs, however if you lived where I do, it's worth the extra dough in the summer.

Does this actually get cool air in? I have a leak in my evaporator so cold air is an idea of the past. When my ac is off I get a lot of hot air seeping in. Ive grown accustom to leaving the passenger side window cracked to get ventilation.

I believe it's just an outside vent.

The firewall gets hot, heats all the vent ducting, and you get warm air. Thats about how I figure it anyway.
