Hi folks, I have to post this even if is a little embarasing, but I never owned a car with air condition before and I don't understand how HVAC works in Model 3.
I am a new owner and I have read the manual for the last couple of months, but the climate control is still overwhelming for me. Although I understand the user interface and what buttons are/do, I do not understand how the actual system works.
I know this is probably a lot to ask, but I would really appreciate if someone can spare some time to explain it to me. The explanations in the manual are vague, often explaining what the buttons do, but not really in which situation or how should it be used. For example Auto says that activates auto mode, but what exactly that means I don't know.
1. I usually just press the Auto button and set the temperature to 17C, but I noticed that on this mode the fans never stops. As I understand, the auto mode should not stop the fans when the cabin reaches the desired temperature? Same with turning them on again if the temperature drops. Instead the fans are constantly blowing in my face which is quite unpleasant.
2. What exactly is A/C button and when should I use it? From what I know is the air condition and that should be activated only when I want to cool down the cabin, presumbly in winter. However, I noticed that the Auto mode also activates the A/C when I set it for 17C.
3. The fan speed section seems to have a fan speed option when A/C is off and three settings(low med high) when A/C is on. What exactly does that mean and why is different?
4. I never used the recirculation button. When should that be activated or disabled?
Thank you in advance, I hope you can answer to me and I appologize for grammar errors.
