How does vw climatronic work

A constant, ideal temperature in your car helps your concentration and reactions stay sharp, and also means your passengers enjoy a more pleasant journey. We offer both a semi-automatic 'Climatic' air conditioning system and 'Climatronic' automatic air conditioning in our cars.

Manual air conditioning produces a pleasant, consistent temperature throughout your journey. It's extremely user-friendly, and achieves your required cabin temperature quickly and efficiently. You can decide the air distribution and blower speed you want and set it manually.

Climatronic regulates the temperature of the cabin based on the chosen temperature setting, adjusting the blower speed and operating the air distribution flaps automatically to ensure a pleasant interior climate in all conditions, with minimal draught as the air flows through the passenger compartment. The Climatronic system's electronic control monitors all the key factors, such as the position of the sun, the intensity of its rays and the outside temperature, and adds more or less cool air accordingly.

Climatronic also includes a pushbutton defrost function to clear fogged or iced-up windscreens. This directs the full airflow onto the inside of the glass at the highest blower and heat output settings. If the outside temperature is above 0? C, the cooling system cuts in as well to dry the air before it is heated. The 2-zone system air conditioning system allows you to adjust the relevant climate settings to your desired areas within the car whilst travelling. The 3-zone "Pure Air Climatronic" automatically ensures clean air and healthy air conditioning in the interior of the vehicle.

An air quality sensor and an anti-allergenic filter keep the air quality at a constantly high level and prevent the intrusion of harmful substances, including fungal spores and allergens. Hi, I've been searching, but not yet found the answer, so hope someone can help! Had my Passat - 2. However, having now had a couple of warmish days, I'm now not sure I understand how the Climatronic unit is supposed to work I've tried using the "cooler" button to bring the temp to "LO", and, on a couple of occasions, I've had an "Icey blast" for about 30 seconds, and then the air seems to "warm up" to about the same temp as the external air temp.

The rest of the time, I just get "external ambient" air Is this indicating a possible fault ie. Thanks Andrew. Re: Climatronic - just how does it work? It wont be able to cool the cabin to lower than the external air temperature though. Is 18 deg the lowest that AUTO can work to? Originally Posted by abucksdiver. Originally Posted by snapdragon.

Is there any way to simply open the vents without fan running to allow fresh air to enter the cabin? Auto functionality is fantasic but anything else seems difficult to control. Turn fan fully anticlockwise. Prev R32 3 door DSG. Prev S3 Sportback Stronic. Posts I suggest you read the manual.
