Heating / AC setting Symbol query

Hi all,

Today I pressed the 'setup' button between the 2 heating control dials, never selected it before , can you tell me what these 3 settings relate to? I toggled through each level and didn't notice anything changing, also took me a while to figure out how to exit this screen!

I think it's the setting for the auxiliary heater.
Is yours a diesel? Because they take so long to warm up there's an auxiliary heater that will come on as soon as you start up, and it gived you heat until the engine has heated up enough to send hot water through the matrix.
I think.....

Ah Interesting, yes its the 184 diesel, I couldn't find anything in the manual , so its for cabin heat? How does each setting affect the heat?

This lets you select how big the airflow should be inside, from the vents. In other words: how quickly the fan should operate to get to the selected temperature. 1 arrow is gently breeze whereas 3 arrows make more noise and cools (or heats) faster.

HTH

Dont think its auxiliary as i found that on mine, 1.4 EcoTSI!

Humm so its still a mystery! Plus the normal dials control the speed of the fans right?

On the old entertainment system it was related to the power/aggression of the the aircon compressor, higher it goes the less power to the wheels, mine was set on medium and I've never changed it.

My cupra also has it. Currently set to medium but not got a clue as to medium what? Auto fan speed once temp is reached as per previous post seems most plausible to me

Interesting, so 2 theories , air con power or aux heater. now I am even more curious!

They are a/c profiles. The auxilary heating is a seperate setting that is either on or off.

Good to know thanks!

You are correct, sir

 

[savedbythebell]

Out of curiosity how do you know if you have Aux heating fitted?

Aux heaters are usually only fitted to diesels, I have a x5 with a webasto that starts when the outside temp goes below 5 deg c. It's a diesel burner that heats up the coolant to make the engine more efficient at low ambient temps. U will have a aux heater timer function on your touchscreen if u have one.
