With no owners manual, I am struggling to make sense of my AC.

 

No heater direction, just auto and off?

 

Rec and eco seem to do nothing?

 

Also if I have the temp over 34c the fan stops blowing until I drop the temp down?

 

Can anyone tell me how to get the best from the system?

 

Cheers,

To 'De-Fog' the windscreen pres the button with the the indication of a screen with bars going up through it - Top Left of pod.

 

For normal operation, press the 'Auto' button (Top Right), set your desired temperature. The fan will run slowly untill that Temp is reached, then the fan speed will pick up and run fast (and loud!). If you wish to slow the fan down press the slow speed button (bottom left side), or to speed it up the button above (also on the side). If you wish to leave it to adjust the speed of the fan automatically, then de-press the button again (no light lite next to speed buttons). As for direction, the A/C directs it automatically (unless you have this indication on your pod, I'm assuming you havent). Once the temp is reached sufficientley, it will direct the air-flow to your feet.

Rec is 'recirculation', ie- air-flow from recirculating the interior air (faster warm up)

Eco, I cant remember for sure, but I think this warms up quicker, or somthing like that, but I'm at work at the mo so cant read my manual.

 

Anyway, HTH.

Bloody Hell!!! How hot???????? Thats because it has to reach the proper temp, before it'll blow properly first. It is not reaching this before you are turning down the temp. ( I'm assuming this)

eco turns off the aircon compressor so no chilling or dehydrating the air. You should hear the engine note change and slow down when you select econ. It saves fuel and power. When you then select auto you should hear a click then the engine speed up slightly as the compressor comes back in again. If you have no change it prolly means your aircon is dead. Low gas pressure locks out the compressor. A recharge might then cure it.

Thanks guys,

 

I will give this a go, and anything that saves fuel will help! Been having so much right foot fun that I was considering buying shares in BP!
