hi all,

so i've had my new car just under 2 days and was woundering is there anyway of stopping the A/C automatically coming on when you turn the temp dial to cold or the direction dial (if thats what its called) to the window, since in the last two days the A/C must have come on about 10 times, i know its nothing important but something more annoying.

thanks!

    Hi mate,

    Just turn the dial one mark either side of the screen icon and that should stop it.

    B.T.W, it is advisable to run the AC weekly to keep it lubricated and functional.

    Nope it does that as AC sopposedly helps the demist process so turn on automatically.

    I have to be honestt i just leave mine on regardless and can tell no difference in MPG after a period of time switching it off all the dam time.

    EDIT: Stoney beat be to it Dam coppers always around when you dont want them to be :)
