Here's my question of the day![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I turned on the climate control this morning when I started the car and tried to change the temperature, then for some reason until the car was warmed up the climate control went to lo and seemed like it was locked there.
Once I the car got warmed up, the climate control worked was normal. It seemed like the increase/decrease controls were locked.
Is this normal at startup?
Thanks.

Was it set to Auto? What was the outside temperature?
On the hybrid, using Eco mode limits the heater/AC compressor output until the car has warmed up and there's enough battery charge. This stops the engine from running too often. Normal and Sport mode don't have those limits and the engine runs more often to power the climate control system, at the cost of higher fuel consumption.

I would not classify 50F as cold. My system had no problems in the winter with temps down to -30 F. Buttons should not "stick in" at 50F or -30F. Obviously it takes a time for heat to build at very cold temperatures, but that is a completely separate issue.

Went to the dealer today and they ran a diagnostic. No issues found.
We think that when they detailed the car something stayed wet causing the issue. Hasn't happened again since. I am going to keep an eye on it.
