Hi Lee,

 

I hope that you can help with this question referring to the climate control unit on the Xsara Picasso Exclusive, registered Jan '03.

 

I have only had the car for one week now and I have found that the owners manual is useless when trying to sort out this problem.

 

As best as my memory serves me from having seen the climate control for only a week now, I believe that when the climate control unit was in Auto, the word Auto was the only visible word to be seen plus of course the set temperature number. That was until I decided to have a fiddle with the A/C today to see how good it was etc etc. Now, after my fiddling, I cannot get rid of the A/C or ECO wording at all. If I now select Auto then the word Auto comes up plus A/C comes up and I can hear the relay pull in and the engine tone change telling me that the A/C compressor is running and using extra fuel. If I then press the A/C button the A/C word changes to ECO and the word Auto dissapears plus the compressor drops out (engine tone change again).

 

How on earth do I get back to just having the climate control running in full Auto without the ECO or A/C wording visible, all assuming of course that my memory is correct in remembering what I believe I was seeing when I fist got the car.

 

Best Regards,

My C4 has always put the AC on when its on auto.

 

If you dont want the ac on you just have to press the a/c button or the auto button to turn it off then you have to set the fan speed and temperature yourself. Only way i found to keep it set without using the a/c.

 

Although i dont think you can set it to auto without it using the a/c.

Yup that's how it is on the C4, I would imagine a full AUTO system has to have the A/C available to it otherwise it could not cool down any air that was warmer than the temp you set.
