The other bonus is that it actually works well bringing the temp down fast and holding it without any noticeable affect on the power.
I wish the start button was somewhere else. I tend to press one of the others above it and wonder why it isn't starting.

I don't know why people are adjusting the fan.. these cars have climate control, press 'auto' set your temp & leave it. Need it warmer? Adjust temp. Need it colder? adjust temp.

The reason fan speeds go up/down is to adjust to your temperature setting, so if you find it's doing annoying things, you probably have the wrong temp setting on. I leave mine sitting at 21.5 for 90% of the time..

I can't understand how this is so difficult?

24.5c for mine. Might be why it doesn't seem to affect the power that others complain about.
I also notice it cuts out way lower than WOT, which is fine by me. I'm not bothered about it getting slightly warmer when i'm moving on a bit and it soon brings it back down. Best A/C i've ever had.

Cause we wanna be difficult Dale!

I have mine on LO, and most of the time the fan on the lowest setting, then crank it up as the heat goes up!

Auto works great.
I can't even listen to music in this car and turn it off almost straight away to listen to the noise it makes instead.

lol looks like people missed my point.

If there is a simple off button i was expecting that the ac button would be that simple on button...

none of this press the auto and turn the dial down on the speed.... I just want the fucken air con on what i had it set to previously.

Just leave it alone then and it will stay that way.
I leave mine on auto and it starts up when I get in without touching anything but the start button for the engine.
