Default help with a couple of items please

Could someone help with a couple of things....I say "things", and not problems, because both items are working, it is just me who maybe doesn't know how to use them correctly
1) Detailed instructions on how to set the Air Conditioning. I have Conn, with Climate Control. Do you need to set the temperature adjusters to LO on the display? When I do this, the Auto button goes off, and the recyling one lights up and stays on, and the noise of the fan nearly deafens us. If you raise temp to next step, 16 deg, Auto comes back on and the recyle goes off. The handbook is very vague about how to get the Air Con on.
2) The intermittent wipe is just about driving me mad. It does not matter how you adjust the rotary switch at the end of the stalk they seem to have a mind of their own. However much or little drizzle there is, they wipe maybe once every five minutes. I've cleaned scrupulously the aire of the screen where I believe the sensor to be, with no change in effect. Oh for the days when you just simply set the speed of the intermittent yourself. This just seems to be an advancement that really is no advancement, if you know what I mean.

The behavior you describe is normal. The best setting for the aircon is to set it to AUTO and then just adjust he temp to suit - it is quite a delicately balanced system and auto handles it best.

I don't think I can help here - but not that "intelligent wipe" means that when you are stopped at junctions etc the wipers will switch to wiping only intermittently and then speed up again when you are off - that to i normal operation of the wipers.

Climate control... Just set the temp and the car does everything necessary to keep that temperature. If that means using the air con it will. When you set it to LO you force the air con on. Thats all.

Wipers, So you have rain sensors? If not the stalk is probably broken.
Our cars do have speed sensing wipers so if you were approaching the speed at which it changes the intermittent speed you may confuse it but it should be easy nought to understand so the stalk is probably broken. If you have a rain sensor I cannot help.
