What is "Auto" ?
« on: 15 February 2010, 13:43:03 »
I guess after 2 months of ownership I SHOULD know the answer to this but:

On a facelift temp settings...what is AUTO or ECO suggesting.

I drive happliy along with neither activated and just change the temperature with the dials and even then..extremely rarely.

Sometimes when I press.. say demist..the AUTO comes on for quite a while and I seem to be constantly pressing buttons to turn Auto back off again...so in a nutshell........
What is AUTO/ECO and what do they do/control exactly.

Auto engages the aircon-compressor (above 4c)

Auto means that the CC will Automatically keep the cabin temperatures at the individual dual-zone temperatures, adjusting fan speed as necessary.

Eco means that the A/C con compressor is turned off

You are currently running the A/C (if over 4C) but controlling fan speeds/air direction yourself, and not really using the CC to its full potential :y
