Title: A/C light
Post by SteveO on Jan 28^th, 2011, 8:39pm

I've read the A/C and CC details on the main site but am still a bit confused. Maybe it's because it's Friday night....
My question is, what effect does the A/C have when I am setting the temperature via the driver and passenger settings? Does it make any difference if the A/C light is on or off?

Thanks,

Steve

With the light off the AC doesn’t work unless you have the selector set to windscreen in which case the AC is on even though the light is off.

If the outside temp is fairly low the AC won’t come on – in other words as the outside temp gets down to the point where the AC would cycle off (else it would freeze up) it will cycle on less & less.

If the heater is on the & the AC light is on it will just cycle on & off thereby drying the air but you’ll still have warm air (unless your heater matrix is failing).
