Hey All -

Happy New Year! I just got my 2020 RDX and had a question on the Climate Control system. There was some mention that this car had a GPS-linked climate control system that would set the inside temperature automatically - or something like that.
How do you use it or activate it? As far as I can tell, it's operating on whatever temperature I have put it at. I wasn't sure if I was missing a trick here.

Thanks!

 

I've got my 2020 Advanced and would like to know as well. I see nothing or no options to this. I do see an Auto button on the dash for AC stuff ..is that the function?

 

I don't think so - The "Auto" button is typically to set the temperature and maintain it.. but it could be. May have to research it.

 

Read the climate control section of the manual. That’s why auto manufacturers make them.

 

found this in the manual:
Press the AUTO button:
The system automatically selects the setting
most suitable to the ambient environment.


Guess this is it?

 

The press kit says this below.... I have no idea how to test it...

With its position-sensing ability, the GPS navigation system (RDX with Technology Package and
higher) contributes to overall passenger comfort with a 3D solar sensing feature. Based on
continuously updated vehicle position information, the navigation system determines the
position of the sun relative to the driver and front passenger. Combining this information with
input from a solar sensor located on top of the instrument panel, the climate control system
automatically adjusts cooling/heating and airflow from side to side as needed to compensate
for asymmetrical solar heating. On the A-Spec and Advance Packages, the heated and
ventilated front seats are electronically linked to the climate control system, expediting the
transition to the desired temperature.

 

Basically there is a solar sensor on the dashboard in the center behind the screen that tells the car how where the sun is in the sky and combined with the internal temp of the car the climate controls are adjusted in AUTO setting along with the heated and ventilated seats. Nothing fancy except the way they wrote it up. If you want to test it put the climate controls in AUTO and leave it alone.
