You function of Climate control runs alongside the A/C system and is, I suppose, and inteligent add on to the system rather than a stand alone. It doesnt work independently as it uses the A/C to complete its task.


For example, if you put the A/C on and set the temperature to 20degrees then the car will pump out air at 20degrees regardless of external temperature. ie, if things get really hot outside and the cabin starts heating up the A/C will still pump out air at 20degrees regardless.

If you put the full Climate control on and set the air to 20degrees then the system will automatically adjust the air depending on cabin temperature/ external air temperature. So it will pump out warm/hot air until the cabin is at 20degrees and then modulate this temperature by reducing/increasing the temperature of the air output as and when needed. So if the outside temp rises into to 35degrees you will find the car pumping out reasonably cold air to keep the interior at 20.

Most impressive bit is the dual zone system, I've driven the car for several hours with my side set at 18degrees and my ex in the passenger seat at a toasty 24degrees, and the system coped superbly with no "temperature bleed" between sides(In fact I forgot she had the temp so high until I reached over to the glove box when we stopped).

Does that make more sence to ya?
