Climate control question.

ElegantSpoon · 09-09-2009, 01:49 PM

Evening all

I have a quick question, when you have your climate control on auto do you also have the air conditioning switched on?

In the hand book it states you don't need the aircon button on as the Auto mode turns it on/off for you.

Is that correct because I'm not sure it does.

Thanx in advance

My AC is on when mine is on Auto. I can turn off the AC and leave it on Auto but then it never cools the cabin down.

Does it still warm up? I had mine on 23c and it was still belting out cold air where as my Z4 would pump hot air out at that temperature.

If I select the Auto switch at my typical temperature setting the AC turns on. If I turn off the AC manually the Auto light turns off as well. I've not tried it but I think if I were to set the temperature higher the AC won't come on unless the ambient temperature is higher still. Seems the Auto climate control will keep the cabin temperature at the specified setting and use whatever climate device, be it heater or AC to maintain that setting. Might be worth a play.

That sounds how it should be. Think I might have to also have a play while in traffic

The AC sucks. Especially that Auto button. It's either too hot or gets too cold. I don't bother with it really tbh.
