GTS Model - Air Con Button - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey Guys,

So in the GTS model the far left button in picture

Does it actually turn your AC on? I have to play with the middle vent dial to turn mine on.

No. That's to switch between the air con and the fan. I usually press the auto button to turn the system on.

Lame... auto just goes full ballin... if you use the the fan switch it just uses the last settings

use the auto button, then play with the fan speed dial.

that's what i do. let it adjust to the set temp first then i'll fine tune with fan speed dial.

I find it irritating on auto that it changes the air from top and bottom vents to just the top vents. Otherwise it works very well and has virtually no effect on performance and cuts out when you give it some stick, as it should. Gotta get the priorities right.

wat? afaik that button labeled A/C turns the A/C on...? Am I missing something? I've only done 700kms and its been hot as hell recently probably hasn't needed to turn itself off.

Well essentially it does... if you press it to turn just fans on instead of AC running.

Press the off button and think to yourself... hey now that i've pressed the off button where is the on button... i know i'll press the a/c button... cause you know that should turn the damn thing on....

OH LOOK NO IT DOESN'T!!!!!

After reading this, i might just change my order to a GT! O_O

If you press the off button, playing with the fan speed turns it on, doesn't it?

The AC button is just used to turn AC on/off but doesn't do anything if you turned the entire thing off.

Why ? ?
.....
LOL at this thread...

Its climate control, not rocket science.

While my wife has her seat warmer on and heater on on her side, I have cold air on my side... works quite well.

gmookher · 01-14-2013, 07:40 PM

glad you said it not me,
I'd get a ban threat pm in my case, lol

... mine works fine, your first time in modern a car possibly?

dial down the temp to what it is inside the car, and it wont go full baller on you

wheres that hall of fame section on this forum?

fuddbutter · 01-14-2013, 07:43 PM

Aircon on, Seat warmer on, window down.. its the way to be

and when i turn mine on, i usually just turn the fan downwards .

IMOA · 01-14-2013, 08:19 PM

I must be missing something but I set the temp, leave aircon on and have the fan set to auto and don't need to touch it again. If I'm desperately annoyed by the fan blowing hard I turn the fan dial down to decrease the speed. I don't understand what is so complicated.
