    How do you like your climate control?

    Just curious on what your climate settings are.... and if any of you know, which setting is best for the car. I've noticed some conflict especially when it comes to the A/C button.

    Personally, most of the time I have it set at:

    72 degrees
    Auto or low fan setting
    Center vent dialed into the center dot (no double red or blue dots)
    Top, center, and low blowers on (I think that's what the three buttons on the left do)
    Auto recirculation (can you tell which setting it's on? Is there an indicator I can check to see it it's switching between circulation of outside air and recirculation of cabin air?)
    A/C off


    Thanks
    Fuelly

    72 on Auto with center vent centered with the white line and circulation set so that it will switch between outside and inside depending on if it senses and pollutants. 24/7. Although my system has some issues, can't figure them out. After I get brakes and some suspension work done, I need to have it looked at.

    68-70º on Auto, no buttons on the left selected, AC button off unless needed. 3 dots should only be used for extreme temps, then go back to white.

    Everything off, I live in San Diego and generally don't need to use it. Once a year I make sure to run the AC just to keep the system healthy.

    Auto setting all the way @ 20C, yep Euro style all the way. Auto on circulation too as it switches on when it detects dirt in the air. Very much hands-off. From what I read, it's a very sophisticated system.
