HI, IVE ONLY JUST GOT MY ZX ,IM TRYING TO WORK THE HEATING OUT ,I ASSUME YOU JUST CANT PUT IT TO THE WINDOW OR FEET???AND WHAT DOES THE BUTTON DO "REC" ?????AND HOW DOES THE AIRCON WORK ????? :confused:

Hi mate,

The aircon works by pressing 'auto', simple!

Press 'econ' to switch off aircon.

'rec' is recirculated air if you dont want fresh air from outside the cabin.

The computer decides where to direct air flow on earlier models, depending

on the temperature setting. Pain in the arse innit!

Ive found if you set the temp to more than 20 degrees above the ambient temp

the airflow goes to feet and slightly to windscreen, nothing form the middle vents.

Set the temp to 20 degrees or less than the ambient temp to get air out the middle vents too. Got it ?!! :-)

Nice one Trev, I'd wondered what the crack was with the air flow situation

Recirc as said gets air from inside the car. This is handy when you either go past a smelly location ;)

 

Or if outside is really hot or really cold. If it is really cold outside the recirc will make the air warmer as it is not trying to warm up freezing cold air.

 

Same with hot days when you want cold air. It will take the already cooled air from inside the cabin and cool it again. Its better than trying to cool 30ºC air.

Cheers ,someone Told Me That Econ Is For Economy Air Con ,save Juice???? I Always Have Mine Set To 40 The Max, So If I Press Auto It Wil Bring On The Aircon And Do Its Own Temp????

If you press "Auto" when it's set to 40, you'll soon boil. :D

 

Basically it will adjust the fan speed up to 4 until it senses the temperature is at 40 and will then drop the fan speed to keep the temp there.

Hi Ajay,

it doesnt do that on our older models :-)

Mines a '90 and fan has high or low.

Set at 40 degrees you wont get any air flow thru the centre vents tho ccrxxx, so ya feet will boil and your hands will freeze!

Econ switches off air con so saves juice yes, but all the windows steam up! as they do on 'rec' too.
