Tempremental climate control

[sargey]

My climate control seems to increase the fan speed all by itself. Ill turn the temperature up to Hi cos its cold at night, the fan speed will be on bout mid way when i stop pressing the button,

and all of a sudden ill look at the display and its up full whack, it does it on other temperatures as well

any ideas? or is this normal

It's normal, it will increase the fan speed until the desired temperature is met, and will adjust the fan speed to then maintain it - it's what the AUTO feature is for

so basically until i burn to death. marvellous well thanks for that, ill tell my girlfriend that next time i turn the temperature up the car is going to try and cook us ;-)

cheers!!

you'll find it uses some "intelligence"....

If your engine is cold, it won't pump cold air into the cabin, so it'll keep the fans on low until the air is warm enough to warm the cabin up to your chosen temperature. If your chosen temperature is "Hi", then of course, expect to be cooked. Because "Hi" means HOT.

I don't think i've ever had my temp settings any higher than about 24, and that is a little too warm for me.

Even the manual mode isn't fully manual - if you ask for Hi it just won't let you force the system to pull in cold air.

i leave it on hi for about a couple of minutes so im nice and toasty then turn it down, sometimes i forget and i start to get a nice tan lol
