Question about AC

e90_guy · 07-18-2009, 01:34 AM

Hi,

Is it possible to turn off the AC completely? I can't find any information in the user manual. Thanks

Lower the fan speed until it's completely off and the screen turns off. Unless you're asking something else entirely?

hopefully that answered your question!

Thanks guys. That's exactly what I'm looking for. I thought there is a single switch that turn off the AC.

Just press the snowflake button - that toggles the AC on and off.

This is actually a good question, I think I just figured it out.

Like others said above. You can press the snowflake button (on the right middle) to turn the AC off. But the blower stays on. You have to use the center small snowflake button to lower the fan speed to turn the blower off and talk more easily on the cell phone.

Edit: Okay I just looked at the manual and it says:

"With the blower at its lowest setting, press the left side of the button (I think it means the "Auto" button) to switch off the automatic climate control. All displays are cleared except for the rear window defroster if it is switched on."

So you have to have the airflow/blower set to its lowest position before you can switch the climate control off by pressing on the "Auto" button and then the green light on the "Auto" button will go out.

I talk on the phone fine with the blower on any setting but Max.

But I use the Bluetooth, so I don't have the handset mike getting hit by wind turbulence. If you are using the handset, try re-aiming your vents.
