Question about climate control
Hey guys.
Was wondering about the climate control ... if you have it set to auto ...when exactly does it turn the AC on ...is it always on? I prefer not to use AC so to conserve fuel ...

if you have auto on, the A/C compressor will run the whole time i am pretty sure

According to Acura service, the A/C compressor, dis-engages, at 32*
Therefore, you should self-regulate the thermostat, by clicking off the A/C compressor.
The ONLY time it automatically comes on, is when the defrost mode is engaged

you can tell if you have it on AUTO, then try to change the fan speed, or turn the AC off, the Auto light will go off turning the system back over to manual control

The air in the winter is a good thing cause it helps prevent teh cars windows from fogging up.
