Default Does anyone have any complaints about climate control behaviour ?

I noticed the following at least 5 times in past 2 months - when driving w/ my wife to work we both have climate control set on 20C/auto, but my side is being cooled, and her side is being warmed or vice versa. It's an obvious temperature difference of at least 4-5 degrees of airflow at her vents and mine. Car is kept in the garage, we keep windows up while driving and in couple of ocassions it was a cloudy day (ie no direct sunlight).

Weird. Look like a problem w/ controlling software of some sort. Is here anyone with similar problems ?

Default Somewhat related I guess.......

Once in a while, I get these two annoying condensation spots outside the front window when using the climate control.

Default Turn off the windshield vents. That's normal when the ac is blasting at the windshield on the inside

and it's humid outside.

Default Is that just hitting the "front vent" button, or...

is it the button between the windshiled vents on the dash. I get the same and have used the "front vent only" button till condensation goes away then switch back. Just didn't want to hit the driver ejection button by mistake.

Van-a4-01 to answer yours - assuming the temps are the same between driver and passenger, if it's uncomfortable and it's supposed to be cooling may want to bring it up with the dealer. I haven't had that on mine.

Default Re: Turn off the windshield vents. ...how?????

This is going to sound dumb....

How do you turn off the windshield vents? I can't seem to find it in the owner's manual.
