D8: The A/C symbol means A/C is forced on. Eco means it's forced off. Auto means it's in automatic modedogslife wrote:Still a bit unsure the climate bit's delivering according to plan though. What's the normal behaviour?
I imagine if you start up on a real hot day, with the set temp. on say 20 deg., a/c should cut in & fan run at high speed initially, but what does it do as the inside temp. approaches set value? Does the fan speed drop? Does the compressor cycle in & out and if it does, does the A/C symbol of the display remain on?
D9: A/C means it's on auto, no A/C means it's forced off. There's no forced on.
On a hot day, automatic mode:
D8: The fan blows at minimum speed and the compressor engages. Once the A/C is cool enough it'll blast out until the cabin's near the target temperature, at which point it'll slow the blower down and cycle the compressor on and off to maintain a comfortable humidity and temperature.
D9: The compressor engages, and the fan blows at full pelt for a couple of seconds then slows down. Once the A/C is cool enough it'll blast out and follow the same procedure as D8s.
The climate control will also operate the recirc flap as necessary to get to the desired temperature as quickly as possible. On hot days I''m sure it has recirc off for a while, then closes the flap for a bit while it re-cools the recirculated air. It does this on extremely cold days too. This paragraph may be wrong
