Automatic Climate Control always on with car start


Recommended Posts

Wasn't the thread over/resolved at post #9 anyways?  

 

The thread continued to counter misconceptions about car air conditioning.  There's no danger from recirc mode in a moving vehicle nor does one need to turn off electric a/c to lessen start up loads.

I fixed it.  The trick was to go to the Climate control screen, turn it off from there, and then turn the car off with the Climate screen displayed (not Nav, or Entertainment, etc).  

 

Now the climate control stays off when we start up, no matter what screen was displayed, like normal.  

 

Thank you all for the help and advice!  Hope this helps someone, someday. 

 

 

Hi Hatchman,

 

Well this helped someone, this day.  Been having the same problem since last time my car went in for a recall plus hatch/latch problem.  Tried this out and it seems to be working, although nobody knows why.  Thanks for the help!

It worked for me! Thank you for posting the solution!

I was always "taught" that the recirculation setting is basically for a traffic jam in a tunnel or when you're stuck behind a nasty diesel bus.

 

What advantage is there to having recirculation on?  Is the school of thought similar to a forced-air furnace (warmer air from the room is pulled down and re-heated rather than colder air pulled in from outside)?
