zennoodle Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Whenever I turn on my A/C (I assume just hitting the AUTO button), sometimes it'll open up the vents for the air from the outside to blow in, instead of recirculating the air... why is that? I noticed there isn't an ON button so to say...just AUTO and OFF. One feature i do like is that I can control the fan speed of whatever temp I set it at but the vent just opening by itself is a tad annoying when I know I left it to recirculate.

zennoodle Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 my guess is humidity inside. the auto is too freaky for me man. i dont like fan speed on 5. too loud. So how do you turn the A/C just ON or is the only way with the AUTO button? I guess I have to RTFM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawdaddy79 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 If you hit the fan up or down button it will turn on at the lowest speed. It's annoying that you can't turn the fan/heat on without the A/C coming on with it (if it's more than 32 degrees outside of course)... I want my standard red/blue colors and hard buttons/switches for the air control. I wouldn't be completely against switching a 2.5i's control unit with mine if it were easy to do.

mwiener2 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 It's really not that hard.... Press AUTO, set the temp you want, the computer will automatically try to get to the set temp in the fastest way possible. Most times, it's right, you are wrong. Take note that design temp for AC systems is 15-20 degrees below ambient. So if it's 100 degrees out and you set the temp to 70, don't freak out when its on full blast for the entire trip. If you want to set it yourself.... Press AUTO to turn everything on, then press the other buttons till it's to your liking.

LGT Dave Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Check out the stickied thread in the interior forums: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6515. It may help explain how the system works a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B. Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 So how do you turn the A/C just ON or is the only way with the AUTO button? I guess I have to RTFM. just hit the a/c button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B. Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Okay now you're just complaining for the sake of complaining. uhhh...it's not complaining. i own the damned thing. it's the way the system acts and works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hit the Auto button, then when you hit any of the other buttons, it'll disable that function from the auto. If you have hit all the buttons, it'll be in full manual mode. In your case, hit auto, then adjust the fan speed to your liking. If you want it to go to vent or recirculate, just hit that button to disable that function. Typically, it'll only vent outside air in if the outside temperature is close to the interior temperature.

spolkyc Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 i understand how the system works... I dissagree. Stop and read "Sticky: How The Dual-Zone Climate Control Works" and then read it again. It explains everything you are asking about. Once you get what the system is doing it is great. I am not trying to be a jerk, the sticky will tell you everything you need to know and is better then us answering a few questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
