Climate control question....

Hey guys,


While driving into work this afternoon I decided to use the a/c for the first time. Well the only problem is that you can only turn it down to 65 degrees (climate control) which is not vey cool at all. I have not had time to read the manual yet, but is there a way to by-pass the C.C. and make it cooler?? Thanks for the replies....

Re: Climate control question....

My 01 SE goes down to 60 and the heat goes up to 90 degrees. I compared this to my father's 00 GLE. I believe his goes down to 65 and the heat only goes up to 85....

Are you sure the cabin's getting down to 65 deg? Maybe you're low on refrigerant or have another A/C problem so that the system is working as hard as it can but not getting to the set point. You'll find out sure enough as the weather gets warmer and warmer and that "65" feels hotter and hotter.

Or maybe it is 65 deg and you left the seat heater on high

haha, no I tend not to use the heated seats in 80 degree weather. I guess I am gonna hafta keep an eye on it since I just bought the car in January. From what I can tell the cabin does get down to 65 degress, but it just does not feel "as cold" as my last car did. Thanks for the help!

One thing I have noticed is that the Max does not cool as fast or stay as cold as other cars I have owned/driven. Hell, even my truck can freeze you out faster.
