like AMB what is it and it reads different every time i get in, and on the auto box what is the POWER. A/T. AND HOLD. and why do the revs change when i put the heaters on in the same way they do when using ac. a new car to me and just learning whats what, or just being thick :rolleyes:

Amb is Ambient temperature. Measures what's outside.

 

AC and whatever changes revs like most cars. You apply more load and the engine works harder. Power button holds the revs longwe. It's like a sport mode. Although I don't a whole bunch about auto boxes.

thanks mate. so even using the heaters uses more fuel?

You apply any load to the engine then yeah it will.

Yeah when the heaters are on so is the compressor. It's all linked.

Switch it to 'econ' if you just want heat without the AC compressor being on.

ah ok thats what im gettin at yeah cheers

i wont be using the POWER button then if it holds the revs longer it hits the limiter already between changes lol

Power = As above, holds it in the gears longer for betterovertaking etc.

A/T = Center position, ie; normal driving.

Hold = Used for slippery conditions, ie; Snow. It doesn't let it go down below Second gear for better traction etc.

 

Use Power for shorts bursts only, and same as Hold once your past the problem, turn it back to A/T

 

Are you sure you mean...
