Advice Please
Hello All
I have just had my aircon regassed so I am using it for the first time. One thing I have noticed is when I switch it on the temperature will be set to 16 on both sides if I turn it down to LO it automatically reverts to econ. Is this normal? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards Tom.

I believe mine used to do the same thing in my last ZT. Not working at all in my current car so can't confirm...

Hmmm. That doesn't sound right to me. Just been out and checked mine and setting it to "Low" doesn't switch it to "Econ"
There is a built in diagnostic check you can run which may help. See here: https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...hlight=climate Cliff

Mine does the same when switched to low, I’m sure they are all like that.

I think that it depends on the outside temperature. The control unit monitors the outside temperature (no point pulling very hot air in to cool the interior).

When the Climate control is set to LO, it's on full cooling mode and no longer on AUTO function.
I will check my own car later on to confirm, but i'm pretty certain the AUTO button light goes out when set to LO.
