I have found 73 degrees to be an ideal temperature, and enjoyed the fact in the warmer months, that I could just leave this temperature setting programmed, and press "automatic" upon starting my car. However, when I did this in my GS today, the AC came on and it was accompanied with a continual blast of cold air. Even though the temperature outside registered 64 degrees, the interior continued to cool, irregardless of my "Automatic" temperature setting. After I hit the Climate button, and pressed the AC icon to disable it, all was well. So, my question is, do I need to go through these steps evertime I press the "Automatic" button in colder weather?
Thank-you for responding.

Not in all cold weather. 12 outside this morning. I have mine set to 68. The Heater was on the whole time.... probably won't need A/C until July.

 

Live in MN...process has been start on HI until it gets too hot then bring it done to 75 or so.

Sometimes the A/C does turn on when the heat is on, not sure what triggers it...wonder if it has a sensor that checks for fog on the windshield.

Seats also take forever (15min) to heat up.

In CA, I am sure you dont care about the seat warmers. Beercity, you have the same experience?

 

Seat warmers? Can hardly feel them. I wish they would get hot. But I try using them... I'd bet the warmer climate owners have the same beef about the ventilated seats... seems the blower is a little to weak for my liking. But hey, the seats to 'warm' and they do ventilate a little... so I am happy.

I really haven't seen the climate issues regarding the A/C. I'd agree, it might be that the car is trying to defrost. I'll keep an eye on mine to see if it occurs.
