Hi Everyone,
I had a 90D long back, which I had to lease transfer when I moved from Seattle to Vancouver.
Recently got a Raven 100D. New car is a huge improvement compared to the older car. Especially the suspension is much better.
I am however facing two issues which I haven't faced with my earlier MX or with any other car:
1. When I am in Auto climate control, many times the car doesn't use A/C. It instead uses keep using higher fan speed - which doesn't help with outside temperature is higher than what I have the HVAC set at. This leads to ineffective air conditioning and much higher noise in the cabin.
2. This issue is a more critical issue. I was driving today on the highway and it was raining. Climate control was in Auto and likely not using A/C. I had set the car to 21c (70F) and outside was 19c (66F). I was an auto climate control and likely that had the A/C off. I felt some fog building up and turned on the defogger/defroster in red mode. Immediately the windshield became fogged from the inside and I couldn't see anything outside. It was a very scary experience and we somehow stopped the car in a safe location and started again once the fog cleared.
Is it possible that these two issues are related.
So my question are:
1. Is it normal for the auto climate control to be aggressive with not using A/C and instead keep using higher fan speed (when it isn't even helping and might be making matters worse). Or is it possible that there is some issue with the air conditioning system.
2. Fog on the inside on the windshield is one of my worst nightmares. What settings should I use to avoid it. I read up a bit and seem to have gathered following tips:
a. Use the blue defogger when it's raining and colder than 21c (70f).
b. If a isn't working, make sure the A/C is on, recirculation is off and temperature in the cabin is higher.
Really appreciate your help.
Thanks
