how do u turn the air con to manual mode as mine keeps coming on when i put the blower onto the windscreen. the front heated screen comes on as well, is there any way of turning this off?

I tried the above suggestions and the only way I could stop it coming on was to make sure its on econ and on lo setting.

Hi there

Pressing the ECON button releases the air con clutch (no air con) Auto switches on air con and brings the inside temp to what the display is set to regardless of outside temp 22 deg is suppose to be the default setting.

 

The heated screen automatically comes on when first starting when outside temp is approx around the freezing mark

I am having a similar where the panel does not remember the last setting once the ignition has been off for more that 3 hours

 

I will admit that there is currently no gas in system because of a broken pipe somewhere

 

but it getting annoying that system keeps resetting to auto mode and 22c I just want it to remember 20c ecom

I know how it should work other mk1 galaxy works fine

sadly i havent got the climate control version, just an ac button along side the rear heater button and air recycling button. ive had a look in the instructions but cant find anything.
