Bruce Ontario Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 We have issues with having temperature set at 19C after just starting the car and the heat coming out the vents is more like 27C. Doesn’t seem to be an issue after car has been running for 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will output much hotter air until cabin temp is reached. If it output air at your desired temp it would take much too long to reach your preset temp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until that coolant is warmed up and circulating through the system you won't get much if any heat from the vents. That's a great reason to use your remote start if you have it. Press a button while you're still getting ready to leave your home/office and by the time you get into the car you'll probably have some heat. The cabin will warm more quickly if you set the system to recirculate rather than fresh air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It adjusts the air temp and fan setting as needed to get to and maintain the desired temp. It’s working as designed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
