Title: Aircon problems..... possibly
Post by: taff-turbo on June 07, 2013, 10:45:34 pm
Hi, I have possibly an issue with the a/c system but not the usual it seems , after searching coming up with nothing.
When I have the a/c set on the lowest temp. setting (lo) and press the auto setting the temperature jumps up to 22! Is this normal or a sign of impending doom? :scared:

That's normal.  Once you have pressed the Auto button just adjust the temperature to what you want although the Auto light will go out again if you set it to Lo!

Yep that's normal. Think it says so in the manual. This is what they think of as the default acceptable comfortable cabin temperature.
