Replying to: mpuzach (Jun 25, 2007 5:13 pm) I prefer to set the manual controls to get the amount of air at the temperature (hot, cool, warm, cold, etc) I want, as opposed to setting the temperature to try and get the amount and temp of air I want. I had it (Hyundai XG350) before and I will never ever get it again. Like someone wrote, to each his own. I am happy, you are happy... good for us.

Replying to: rick2456 (Jun 26, 2007 7:12 am) Um, wrong. That's true of your home HVAC system, which is either on or off, but not of a car's climate control. Just as with manual controls, an auto climate control blends heated and unheated air (in the case of heating) to achieve varying degrees of "warm", and also varies the fan speed. With my climate control set at 73 degrees, the AC will run at full capacity when I first start the vehicle on a hot day (90+ outside). It will engage the recirc feature, put the fan on high, and blow fully cooled air until the cabin temp gets close to the set point, at which point it drops the fan speed and begins blending heated or cooled air with outside air to maintain the set point. It just does it all automatically without me having to fiddle with the controls.

Replying to: davesuv (Jun 26, 2007 3:34 pm) As a side note, my parents had a new '66 Buick LeSabre with climate control. We were driving from CT to FL in the days before the interstates were completed. First night we stopped in Virginia. I had first shift driving on the second day and it was chilly. The heat came on. A hour or so later the system switched over to A/C with no notice of getting too hot or too cold..cabin temp was relatively constant. |

Replying to: gizzer777 (Jun 27, 2007 5:32 pm) With the back seat air vents positioned just to the left and right sides of the front seats, has any of your rear seat drivers mentioned poor A/C circulation? I am not talking about the 3rd row seating here...just the 2nd row of seats and the amount of air that your passengers receive. Thanks!

Replying to: sothpaw1962 (Jun 29, 2007 1:34 pm) I might add that I am pretty happy about the speed that the cabin cools off after sitting in the sun! I open the windows, put the system on High recirc...and in a few minutes it becomes noticeably more comfortable on the way to full comfort! (I do use a windshield sun blocker which helps while the car is sitting) I also appreciate those 3rd row vents when bringing groceries/produce home from the market...helps a lot! (My 3rd row seats are usually in the down position for storage aft! |

Replying to: ejdiff (Jun 18, 2006 12:15 pm) Interestingly, a friend with the identical vehicle has the same problem. A call to the dealer elicited the reply that "I never heard of this before". Anyone have a similar complaint? |
